Resources Accessed

Which resources are popular?

In the Resources Accessed view you can check out which files, videos, and other resources are accessed most often by your classmates.

The visualization shows which resources you've accessed (blue) and which you haven't (gray). If you haven't looked at a resource, you can click on the file name to open it up!

Customize the list: Use the week slider, grade ranking drop-down, resource types, and brush controller to change the files that display.

You can also set a preferred default for the grade ranking filter.

NOTE: The visualization only displays files in your Canvas course. Readings and files outside Canvas are not included.
