Downloading Test Results


Instructors may download the results of a test to track student performance across sections of a course and across semesters using 3rd-party statistical analysis tools (ex: Microsoft Excel, SPSS).

  1. To access this download, first go to the Control Panel of the course that contains the desired test results and open the Gradebook.

       

  1. Locate the gradebook column for the test/survey you want to download. Click on the column name to open the Item as show in the example below.

       

  1. The last option will be Download Results. Follow the instructions there for downloading a comma-delimited (.CSV) file to import into a 3rd party statistical analysis tool.

       

  

Note: Only the results of Multiple Choice and True/False questions are included in a results download because these questions have a limited set of defined answers. Other question types, such as essay or fill-in-blank, are not included. The results download file (with file extension .CSV) can be opened using Microsoft Excel or Word (Excel is recommended as it maintains column layout for easier readability), or the third party software of your choice.
