Quiz Reporting Features

Why use Quiz Reporting Features?

  • To assess student performance and understanding: The quiz reports provide detailed insights into how students performed on quiz questions, allowing instructors to identify areas where students may need additional support or clarification. The reports show individual student scores, class averages, and question-level analytics.
  • To analyze question effectiveness: By reviewing the quiz reports, instructors can evaluate the effectiveness of individual questions and identify any problematic or confusing items. This helps refine assessments for future use.
  • The comprehensive quiz reporting capabilities in Moodle enable instructors to evaluate learning outcomes, refine assessments, monitor student progress, provide targeted feedback, and uphold academic standards.

How can Quiz Reporting Features Help to Improve Student Learning?

Identifying Knowledge Gaps 

By analyzing the quiz reports, instructors can pinpoint specific questions or topics where students struggled the most. This allows them to identify knowledge gaps and areas that require additional instruction, clarification, or review.

Evaluate Question Effectiveness

The quiz reports provide detailed statistics on how students performed on each question, including the percentage of correct responses and common wrong answers. Instructors can use this data to evaluate the effectiveness of their assessment questions and refine or replace questions that may have been confusing or poorly designed.

Pinpoint Knowledge Gaps

Review the quiz reports to identify questions where students struggled the most, indicated by a low percentage of correct responses. This can help pinpoint knowledge gaps or areas that require additional instruction, clarification, or review.

Measure the Quality of the Questions

Analyze the discrimination index and discrimination efficiency for each question to assess its quality and ability to differentiate between high and low-performing students. Questions with poor discrimination values may need to be revised or replaced
