Last Access Dates

You can check to see when students last accessed your course site. This is especially useful at the start of a term, as it lets you quickly see which students have never accessed the site. To view last access dates:

  1. Click on the Participants link in the navigation panel on the left.
  2. The Last access column is the last column in the Participants table. Click on the column heading to reverse the sort order.
