Enhancing Learning With Canvas Engagement and Course Evaluation Data

Session Abstract: As online learning continues to expand, it is crucial for institutions to understand how student engagement within Learning Management Systems (LMS) impacts learning outcomes. This session explores the relationship between student Canvas engagement and their online course performance. By leveraging Canvas engagement with Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) data, the session offers a data-informed analysis of how Canvas engagement behaviors correlate with learning outcomes. Attendees will gain insights into effectively integrating LMS and course evaluation data to enhance student success, improve learning outcomes, and refine online course designs. The session also addresses the challenges of extracting, analyzing, and integrating LMS data with SETs, presenting strategies for effective data usage. Participants will leave with actionable approaches to apply these insights in optimizing online education at their institutions and to foster a more enriching online learning experience for students.
