Coach for Student Progress
Overview
Coaching for student progress and making necessary adjustments to instruction are fundamental characteristics of an exceptional learning experience. Canvas has settings and tools that allow you to monitor student progress.
You can use Course Analytics and the Grades page as tools to help identify where students may need encouragement to complete work or prompting to attend an advising session. Adding reminders about upcoming advising sessions or related workshops to the course Calendar can also prompt students to stay on task.
Assignment "Until" dates can be adjusted to allow late submissions when appropriate, and individual due dates can also be assigned to allow for specific accommodations.
