The Starfish program has the ability to auto-generate “system alerts” to notify students of their progress (or lack thereof) in class. System alerts are only available to instructors using a Canvas shell for their course. Instructors may “opt into” any the following system alerts by contacting the administrator at Starfish@ohlone.edu:

Inactivity Concern in Canvas - (for fully online courses) - Automatic alert which goes out to students who neglect to log into Canvas for 7 (or more) consecutive days.
Low Average in a Course - Automatic alert which goes out to students who have a Canvas gradebook score of 70% or lower
