Course Activity Insights (CAI) is a comprehensive analytics platform designed to help instructors make data-informed decisions about their teaching to improve teaching and student success. CAI generates near real-time reports with daily updates to answer course-specific questions. This allows instructors to create supportive learning environments that engage students while also identifying those who may benefit from additional learning resources.
By gathering data from multiple educational technologies (e.g., ICON, Zoom, Panopto, and online homework platforms), CAI provides instructors with a deeper understanding of their students’ academic backgrounds and patterns of engagement. The goal is to gain insight into students’ interactions with materials and tools and how they may support success.
It is important to note that CAI is focused on student learning and support, and it explicitly excludes matters related to academic integrity violations or student grievances.
Get started with Course Activity Insights
Before pursuing access to CAI, instructors should consider:
- CAI is only accessible to instructors, team teachers, and course supervisors (excluding graduate students at this time).
- Data for CAI is primarily from ICON.
- At least 11 students must be enrolled in ICON.
- CAI only shows data for the current fall or spring semester.
Visit the how-to guides to familiarize yourself with the tool’s features and functionalities to determine if it is a good fit given your needs and course design.
Instructors need to complete training that is available as a self-paced asynchronous ICON course. Or they may register for a virtual training session.
