Best way to display course size information to faculty?

Question

Our faculty are looking for a way to easily view how "big" their course is in terms of their course files. I could create an Insights dashboard but it would also be useful to be able to create a widget that could be on every course homepage. Does anyone have any ideas/insights/experience that they are willing to share?

@Brian.P.603 @Jennifer.W.973 and @Rusha.S.831 that PIE item is actually one that I created and I learned there was a custom widget created for Lansing CC many many years ago and I brought it up to my TAM and he is exploring the possibility of it being deployed.

Hello @Jennifer.W.973,

It looks like there is a PIE Total Course File Size (D10907) that seems similar to your request. May I suggest you upvote this idea which is currently under review?

Also if would like to get the size of the manage files, may I suggest you open a support case, please?

I hope this helps!

Thank you,

Rusha

I'm looking to do something similar but it doesn't seem possible to get the size of all files stored in Manage Files within each course offering if the Content Files Properties Log data set only includes files that are linked to a Content object. Is there a way to get the list (and size) of files that are saved to Manage Files but NOT linked to Content?
