Create reports for Quizzes in D2L Brightspace

Understanding quiz reports

Use quiz reports to gather information on student performance. Quiz reports are different from quiz statistics; reports collect and present more types of information than is available through statistics. Choose a report type to display question statistics, question details, user statistics, attempt details, or user attempts. You can also select a release date and choose which roles have permission to view each report.

Create a report

  1. Navigate to the Quizzes tool in the course.
  2. On the Manage Quizzes page, select Setup Reports from the quiz’s drop-down menu.
  3. In the Setup Reports tab, select Add Report.
  4. Enter a Report Name.
  5. Select Report Type. 
  6. Select from the available options to customize the report’s output.
  7. Set when to release the report:
    • Select immediately to release it after any student has submitted a quiz attempt, or
    • Enter a future date and time (such as the quiz end date) to release it after all students have submitted a quiz attempt. 
  8. In the ‘Release Report To’ area, select the check box next to each role you want to release the report to.
    Important: Remember to include your Instructor role so you can access the report after you created it!
  9. Select Save.
