Canvas FAQs: tracking student performance

This week the Canvas team provides an answer to: How do I track student performance in a quiz?

Quiz statistics provide a breakdown of quiz data to discriminate between high and low scorers and the effectiveness of quiz items.

Quiz statistics show a broad range of statistics (including average score, average time to complete and standard deviation), plus a breakdown of each question.

For a statistical analysis of the quizzes, the item analysis report estimates reliability, difficulty, and discrimination for multiple choice and true/false questions.

Finally, when students have problems with a quiz, the quiz logs can help investigate what has occurred.

Visit the Support Centre for more information on quizzes, other Canvas tools, or to access 24/7 live chat, phone and email support.

To access the support centre, click on the question mark in the bottom right corner of Canvas (pictured below).
