User Manual
Complete guide to identifying and supporting at-risk students

Getting Started

Holon At Risk monitors student engagement, grades, and activity across your Canvas courses to identify students who may need intervention. It calculates a risk score for each student based on three factors: grade, missing assignments, and login activity.

Getting Access

Holon At Risk is part of the Holon tool suite and is launched from Holon Hub. There's nothing to install per-tool and no token to enter.

  1. Purchase a plan that includes Holon At Risk from your Holon Portal.
  2. Install Holon Hub in your Canvas course (once). Hub is your single entry point to all your Holon tools.
  3. Open Holon Hub from Canvas, find Holon At Risk in the tool grid, and launch it.
No token to manage: You won't be asked for a Canvas API token. Hub passes each tool the Canvas access it needs automatically when you launch it from Hub.

Understanding Risk Scores

Each student receives a risk score from 0 to 100 based on three weighted factors:

Grade (up to 40 points)

Missing Assignments (up to 30 points)

Login Activity (up to 20 points)
