Quizzes: Setting Up and Exporting Reports

Reports allow you to gather information on how users have performed on your quiz. You must set up a quiz report in order to use this feature, but you may set up a quiz report at any time.

Reports differ from statistics in three ways:

statistics are available for every quiz by default
reports allow you to collect more types of information than statistics
reports are printable

The Carmen team offers reporting services beyond those provided within Carmen. More information about available data and timeframes is available.

Question Statistics An "overall" report that can show the class average, score distribution, and the percentage of correct responses for each question.

Viewing and Exporing Quiz Reports

You can export quiz statistics and reports to a CSV file for data analysis. The CSV file contains all pertinent information on the quiz so that you can query, sort and evaluate the data without being connected to the learning management system.

You must set up quiz reports using the Reports Setup tab for the appropriate quiz before you can view or export reports.

Export quiz reports

1. From the Manage Quizzes page, click the name of the appropriate quiz. Click the Reports icon.

2. Click the name of the report you want to export. The Generate Reports page appears.

3. Select the From box and choose the applicable date from the drop-down lists if you want to include quizzes submitted on or after a certain date. Select the To box and choose the applicable date from the drop-down lists if you want the report to include quizzes submitted on or before a certain date.

4. Click Generate HTML Report to view the report in your browser, or Generate CSV Report to save the report as a CSV file on your computer.
