In Canvas you have options to track student activity via Course Analytics, Course Statistics, Student Analytics, and the new Analytics Beta tool. You can view your own interactions with a student, and view a summary of all student interactions in your site.
You may also be able to view past and future enrollment courses in Canvas. Note: Some institutions may restrict the option to view or access future enrollment courses before the participation dates and/or restrict the option to access concluded courses after the course has ended.
You can view your own interactions with a student, and view a summary of all student interactions in your site. At this time Canvas analytics do not measure activity on mobile devices, with the exception of Analytics Beta which does measure activity across devices. For more information on the Grades area in Canvas, see our other resources.

It can typically tell if a student minimizes it because it loses "focus" and will likely show up in the log that they "stopped viewing the quiz.....", but Canvas can't tell anything else about the computer itself or other programs running on it.

Context cards only apply to users with student roles ; they are not supported for user names where the user is not a student (e.g. observer, TA, or other instructor). Clicking links for non-student roles will always direct to the user’s details page or profile page (if your institution has enabled the Profiles feature).
You can click a student's name anywhere in Canvas to view a summary of the student's progress in the course. Context cards do not apply outside a course, such as in the Conversations Inbox. Student context cards provide insights and context about the student. Context cards are meant to be a simplified overview of a student’s progress.
For courses using Multiple Grading Periods, the context card only displays the grade for the current grading period. Note that the grading period view in the Gradebook does not influence the grade display; the student context card always displays the current grading period, regardless of whether you view a prior or future grading period.
Course files include any content uploaded to a course. If your instructor allows you to view the Files link in Course Navigation, you can view the files in your course.
All published course files can be viewed by all course users [1]. However, some files may restrict access to specific users. You can preview and download all published files in Course Files. If you want to see the files for all your courses, click the All My Files link [2].

The overall picture painted by the analytics can give you a sense of which students you may need to reach out to because they appear to not be engaging with your course.
You can view your own interactions with a student, and view a summary of all student interactions in your site. At this time Canvas analytics do not measure activity on mobile devices, with the exception of Analytics Beta which does measure activity across devices.
