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, click 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: immediately after a student’s has submitted a quiz attempt, or enter an alternative date and time (such as the quiz end date).
  8. In the ‘Release Report To’ area, select the check boxes next to the roles 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. Click Save.

Generate a report for a quiz

You can review and export a quiz report to a CSV or Excel file for data analysis.

  2. From the quiz’s drop-down menu, select the View Reports.
  3. Click on the name of the report you want to view.

    • Click Generate CSV Report to open and save the report as a CSV file.
