Abstract

The author has been utilizing Canvas LMS for either asynchronous undergraduate course teaching or as an online presence to communicate many aspects of an in-person graduate course. In this paper, the author reflects back on student usage or access statistics in these two courses to derive from them some interesting data or numbers. The pulled-out numbers are contrasted to the number of students in each class as well as specific events or milestones in the courses. The data is either directly pulled out from Canvas or run through simple statistical quantities such as averaging. Interesting observations are discussed herein and this provides an opportunity to reflect back on the plusses or minuses for online teaching and learning.
