Canvas Morning Check

Canvas 晨间检查

A comprehensive course health check for educators using Canvas LMS. Run it at the start of a teaching day or week to surface submission gaps, students who need support, and upcoming deadlines -- then take action directly from the results.
这是一款为使用Canvas LMS的教师打造的全面课程健康检查工具。可在教学日或教学周开始时运行，以发现提交缺口、需要支持的学生以及即将到来的截止日期——并可直接根据结果采取行动。

Prerequisites

前提条件

  • Canvas MCP server must be running and connected to the agent's MCP client.
  • The authenticated user must have an educator or instructor role in the target Canvas course(s).
  • FERPA compliance: Set 
    ENABLE_DATA_ANONYMIZATION=true
    in the Canvas MCP server environment to anonymize student names in all output. When enabled, names render as 
    Student_xxxxxxxx
    hashes.
  • Canvas MCP server必须处于运行状态，并已连接至Agent的MCP客户端。
  • 已认证用户必须在目标Canvas课程中拥有教师或讲师角色。
  • FERPA合规性：在Canvas MCP服务器环境中设置
    ENABLE_DATA_ANONYMIZATION=true
    ，以对所有输出中的学生姓名进行匿名化处理。启用后，姓名将显示为
    Student_xxxxxxxx
    哈希值。

Steps

操作步骤

1. Identify Target Course(s)

1. 确定目标课程

Ask the user which course(s) to check. Accept a course code, Canvas ID, or "all" to iterate through every active course.
If the user does not specify, prompt:
Which course would you like to check? (Or say "all" for all active courses.)
Use the 
list_courses
MCP tool if you need to look up available courses.
询问用户需要检查哪些课程。接受课程代码、Canvas ID或“all”（遍历所有活跃课程）作为输入。
如果用户未指定，提示：
你想要检查哪门课程？（或说“all”以检查所有活跃课程。）
若需查询可用课程，可使用
list_courses
MCP工具。

2. Collect Recent Submission Data

2. 收集近期提交数据

    get_assignment_analytics
    to collect:
    • Submission rate (submitted / enrolled)

Notes

注意事项

  • When anonymization is enabled, maintain a local mapping of anonymous IDs so follow-up actions (messaging, grading) still target the correct students.
  • This skill works best as a weekly routine -- Monday mornings are ideal.
  • Pairs well with the 
    canvas-week-plan
    skill for student-facing planning.
  • 启用匿名化功能后，需维护匿名ID的本地映射，以便后续操作（如发消息、评分）仍能定位到正确的学生。
  • 该工具作为每周例行流程使用效果最佳——周一早晨是理想时间。
  • 与面向学生的
    canvas-week-plan
    工具搭配使用效果更佳。
