Small tools for Canvas teachers. Assignment status and recorded activity in one course view.
Progress Report brings assignment status and recorded activity into a view inside your Canvas course. It is designed to help you decide what to check next and whom to contact.
After you install the extension and grant access to your Canvas site, open Progress Report from course navigation. The report shows the student and assignment records your course permissions allow, ordered by its missing-work count and then recorded inactivity where available.
Preview limitations: individual due dates, assignments that apply to only some students, and missing work assigned an automatic zero can be represented incorrectly. Check these exceptions against Canvas before acting. An absent activity timestamp is not proof that a student has never visited. Read the current limitations.

Activity and assignment records are reasons to check, not conclusions about a student. Check the student's assignment rules and course context before deciding what to do. Progress Report does not send messages or grade work for you.
The current report processes student records in your browser and does not send those records to Lamplighter. The extension sends licence information and optional usage counts; some activity identifiers are stored locally. Read the data details.
You use your existing Canvas session. No Canvas API token or Canvas administrator account is required. Your institution may restrict extension installation.
