The following quiz reports are available in FLO. Generating and interpreting these reports can help you refine your quiz and question bank for the next cohort/overtime.

  • Grades report: Shows all the students' quiz attempts, the overall grade, and the grade for each question. There are links to review all the details of a student's attempt, just as the student would see it (student view)

    Useful for
     tracking student progress, identifying students at risk, identifying problem questions (either difficult or badly designed) or easy/difficult questions (by time taken)
  • Responses report: Similar to the Grades report, except that it shows the responses the students gave, rather than the marks they earned. It is also possible to show the question text or the right answer, to compare with the student's response. This is helpful when the question is randomised

    Useful for identifying student misunderstandings (individual and common), gaps in their knowledge
  • Statistics report: Gives a statistical (psychometric) analysis of the quiz, and the questions within it. The front page gives a summary of the whole quiz. Links drill down to a detailed analysis of specific questions

    Useful for analysing individual questions and question behaviours (e.g. random guess score) but you will need to understand statistical terminology
  • Manual grading reportAllows the marker to manually grade questions in the quiz 

    Useful for online marking of essay questions (more a marking facility than a report) – these can't be automated like other formats for questions (eg multiple choice). You can also mark short answer questions if required

Grades report

The Grades report tells you about student quiz attempts, displaying the overall grade, and a summary of each correct/incorrect answer. It also reports on the State (student progress through a quiz), the time the quiz was started/completed and the total time the student took to complete it. You can regrade quiz attempts by selecting Regrade selected attempts. A bar graph summarises the grade range and frequency.

  7. The last section of this report is a bar graph of the percentage of correct answers (Facility index) and the Discriminative efficiency.

    the bar graph       

    Facility index (F): The mean score of students on the question (see table below for interpretation)

    Discrimination efficiency: This statistic attempts to estimate how good the discrimination index is relative to the difficulty of the question.
