Course Activity Insights

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. This allows instructors to create supportive learning environments that engage students while also identifying those who may benefit from additional learning resources.
