      Course Statistics

      Course statistics give you a glimpse into which assignments, discussions, and quizzes are engaging students and what might be improved in the future. It will also help you to detect which students are not participating to the fullest or have started to fall behind the rest of the class.

      You can also view current user role totals from the Course Settings page.

      To learn about specific file quota details, view the Course Files Quota PDF. The quota for VCU Canvas courses and organizations is 2 GB.

      In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.

      View Course Users

      You can view totals of the current users in your course in the Current Users list [1]. The Current Users list displays the total number of users in your course who have specific user roles, including students [2], teachers [3], TAs [4], designers [5], and observers [6]. The list will also display custom user roles created by Canvas admins (i.e. SI Leader, Librarian, etc.)
