What it is
Canvas Intelligent Insights is a web-based analytics product for institutions monitoring student progress and evaluating courses and educational technology. It provides self-service analytics intended to support course effectiveness, student retention, and graduation rates. Account administrators can ask questions in natural language with Ask Your Data, an AI-powered query tool. Course Readiness lets administrators set criteria for assessing course readiness and effectiveness, while Students in Need of Attention monitors institution-defined indicators to identify learners who may need support. The product supports data visualization, customizable dashboards, curated insight sharing, and SQL query returns. Listed capabilities also include Accessibility Insights, Accessibility Analytics, predictive analytics, and learner risk scoring. Intelligent Insights integrates with Canvas and is accessed through the Canvas Analytics Hub. It reports on LTI tool usage, though Instructure later stated that LTI usage reporting would become part of core Canvas. Instructure describes Intelligent Insights as a legacy add-on: advanced analytics are now available in Canvas Plus and Canvas Next, while AI-powered Insights are available in Canvas Next. Pricing is on request.
