Utilizing "New Analytics" in Your Canvas Course Site:
All courses should automatically include New Analytics in the Home page menu.
Initially, the New Analytics page displays all data in chart form. The guide, How do I view average course grade analytics in an interactive chart graph in New Analytics?, gives a detailed description of the features.
You can switch the view to tables. The guide, How do I view average course grade analytics in a data table in New Analytics, gives a detailed description of the features.
