Canvas Feature Changes Coming October 19!

Canvas has announced two enhancements that will be of interest to all faculty. The following will be visible in our Canvas instance on October 19:

• New Course and User Analytics
  This update to the previous Analytics Beta will provide analytics for course grades, weekly online activity, and individual student views. New Analytics will also include mobile page views, making this a more comprehensive look at user activity in any course.
• Improved Rich Content Editor
  This update will improve the content creation experience. The new editor expands to the full width of the browser, has grouped common icons on the toolbar, repositions the accessibility checker, HTML editor, and keyboard shortcuts to the bottom of the screen, and allows for drag and drop media additions. Faculty who have felt hampered by the current editor will be really excited about this change!

Users will also notice improved visibility in the global navigation bar. We're looking forward to these enhancements to the Canvas Experience.
