Viewing Quiz Statistics
This article discusses Quiz statistics, which are automatically available to instructors within Brightspace.
Quiz Statistics provide information on how students performed on a D2L Brightspace quiz and a detailed analysis of each question. Quiz data can be exported to an excel or CSV file. Once students have completed a quiz in Brightspace, instructors can view and export the following statistics:
User Stats – Statistics for individual users.
Question Stats – Statistics for each quiz question.
Question Details – Detailed analysis of each question.
For increasingly granular data, instructors will need to create quiz reports.
PLEASE NOTE:
Quiz statistics are not computed for questions in a Question Pool.
Statistics are calculated based on a user’s first quiz attempt. If a question is edited after attempts have been submitted, only the attempts on the newest version of the question will be included in the statistics.
Viewing Quiz Statistics
The Quiz Statistics page has three tabs: User Stats, Question Stats, Question Details. You can view and/or export user or question statistics from each of these tabs. See D2L’s View Quiz Statistics documentation for more information about quiz statistics in Brightspace.
