About After Dark

After Dark - Canvas Admin Tool After Dark is a Chrome extension built specifically for Canvas LMS administrators. It fills the gaps in the native Canvas UI with tools designed for the day-to-day realities of managing a Canvas instance. What it does: 🔍 Course Search - Search across your Canvas instance by course name, SIS ID, course code, instructor, sub-account, or term. Filter by publish status, enrollment, blueprint, and more. Browse results in ways the native UI simply doesn't offer. 👤 People Search - Find any user by name or login ID. See their full enrollment history grouped by term, 30-day page view activity, last login status, and profile details - all in one place. ⚖️ Course Comparison - Select two courses and compare their content side by side with visual diff badges on every section. See exactly what's in one but not the other. 🌐 Cross-Environment Comparison - Compare the same course across Live, Test, and Beta Canvas environments simultaneously. See exactly what changed and which version is newer. 🗺️ Blueprint Tools - Browse master courses and their full family of associated children in one screen. No more navigating Canvas sub-menus. 🔬 Course Audit — Deep-dive into any course's grading patterns, discussion activity, Kaltura usage, and content inventory. Surface potential concerns before they become problems. 💀 The Vault - Watchlist courses you need to keep an eye on. Add notes, archive old entries, and pull them up instantly without searching again. 📸 Section Snapshot - Index all sections for a term, then look up any section number instantly to find its parent course. 🏛️ Org Structure Visualization - Explore your institution's sub-account hierarchy as an interactive sunburst or tree diagram with live course counts. 🎨 Themes - 17 color themes including palettes for every UW System institution. Switch instantly - your choice persists across sessions. 🎭 Demo Mode - Scramble sensitive fields like student names, SIS IDs, and instructor emails for safe screen-sharing and training demos. 🏫 Multi-Institution Support - Connect multiple Canvas environments and switch between them instantly from the home screen. Privacy first - After Dark makes no external network calls. All data stays in your browser. No analytics, no tracking, no account required.
