The ObservEd Dashboard displays all currently observed students, their associated flags, and any groups they belong to. Select any name to view that student's records in detail.
ObservEd helps academic advisors, athletic staff, equity offices, and other supporting team members (Observers) monitor specific student populations from one central area in Canvas, without needing access to individual classes.
The Dashboard houses all observed students enrolled in any Term that is being tracked. Observers will only be able to view students belonging to groups to which the Observer has been assigned. Observers may add Flags to keep an eye on certain students and run Reports to identify academic challenges early.
