Teach learners to read campaign results carefully
Turn real campaign metrics into an exercise in interpretation, evidence, and recognizing what the data does not show.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create an assignment
Creates an assignment in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
Numbers can look conclusive without context, making it difficult to teach careful interpretation from real examples.
- Use available campaign metrics as a practical data literacy exercise.
- Prompt learners to separate observed results from interpretation.
- Call attention to missing baselines or context rather than inventing them.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create an assignment using available campaign metrics and ask learners to identify both supported conclusions and missing context.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Will it calculate a baseline that ActiveTrail does not provide?
No. Instruct Notis to state when a baseline or comparison is missing and avoid unsupported conclusions.
Can the assignment focus on one metric?
Yes. Name the metric or campaign context in the automation prompt.
