If you download a trainee's activity within a course or a number of courses, you can glean insights from how they did, whether they cheated, whether they spent a long time trying to understand something or whether they are experienced and breezed through it. 

First you'll need to download a report for the user which you can do by going to Manage > Trainees and Courses.



Then click on Course and Trainees Options > Manage trainees. 




You'll see a list of trainees. Click View on any one of them.

This will take you to the trainee's report page.

Now download some data.


Alternatively, you can go to the Reports page (Analyse > Reports) and either download detailed module results for every trainee or build a report in the page and click View.


Column headers in the report

The following image is one row from a report showing one module; when you download the report it will have multiple rows corresponding to different modules and how many attempts the trainee made on the module.

  • Course, Section and Module are as stated in the course.
  • Score is the number of questions correct (not the percentage). No score is registered if the module is aborted.
  • Number of questions is the number of questions in the module
  • Percent is the score in relation to the number of questions
  • Date taken was when the module was taken (New Zealand time)
  • Pre-quiz opened: the time the trainee clicked into a module that has a video or other media before the quiz
  • Quiz start time: the time the trainee clicked to start or restart the module
  • Quiz finish time: the time the trainee  went to the results page. If no finish time is shown, the quiz was abandoned or aborted
  • Time taken: the difference between the pre-quiz (if relevant) or the quiz start time and the finish time
  • Module time: the time we estimate the module should take. This is calculated as video/presentation/document reading time + 20-30 seconds per question. Some questions are easy and some are harder, so 20-30 seconds is a reasonable allowance.

  • Module aborted: indicates whether they either restarted the module before it was finished, they closed the browser, or their login timed out (e.g. they left their computer and it logged them out). If they restart the module and complete it, it is likely to show a very long completion time in total time taken

  • Attempt number: how many times the trainee has started this module within the time frame you chose. For example, if you're just looking at the last 7 days, it won't take into account attempts taken before then.

In the example below, the user watched the video on the pre-quiz page between 10:32:24 and 10:37:25 (this makes sense as the video in that module is 4m 8s. 4 minutes is given for the quiz but they breezed through in 44 seconds. This wouldn't be unusual for a person who is experienced or perhaps someone who has answered the questions before.

When should you be concerned?

If a trainee takes a module one time and they complete it much more quickly than the length of the video, this is an indication they might have skipped the video (the video can be played faster or slower by the user, so do take this into account). If the trainee has already taken the module once and watched the video, they don't have to watch the video a second time and could simply skip it and do the questions.

Modules not showing pre-quiz start time

We began logging the pre-quiz start time on November 15, 2018. All modules taken before this won't show a pre-quiz start time.

Modules showing an excessively long time

This course result shows an example before 15 November therefore there's no pre-quiz time, despite this module having a video. The total time shows over 25 hours. This is because the module was paused and resumed the next day. The Module aborted column shows No because the module was eventually completed.
