Test Question Analysis Report

The Test Question Analysis report allows viewing of aggregate responses to test questions in HLC courses. The report displays the number of responses and the percentages of each response, providing a tool for analyzing course content presentation and test effectiveness. Individual student responses are not revealed in the report.

Tip: This report can be scheduled. This report opens in a new window. Once you close the window (or return to the configuration page of the report) you will be able to schedule the report using the Schedule This Report link found at the top right of page. See Scheduling a Report.

To create the report

1. On the Reports tab, click Test Question Analysis. The Test Question Analysis page appears.

2. Click Select a Course to search for the course that contains the test upon which you wish to report. The Browse for a Course page appears.

Note: Available courses include those that were published at your affiliation and courses created at a higher level and were published to your affiliation. Only courses that contain one or more tests will be returned in search results.

3. Conduct a course search. You can search alphabetically, by category, or whole word or partial word + wildcard.

4. Click Search. The system returns a listing of all courses that match your search criteria.

5. Click the name link of the desired course. You are returned to the Test Question Analysis page with the name of the course that you selected next to Course.

6. In the Course Version list, select the course version. The default is the active version. Because a test may be different or even missing between course versions, this report does not span across course versions.

7. If there is more than one test within the course, click Select a Test to select the test and, if applicable, the test override on which to report. The Test Override Selector page appears.

8. Select the test you want to use in the navigation tree to the left.

9. Click Continue. You are returned to the Test Question Analysis page with the test that you selected next to Test Name.

10. In the Completion Date Range list, select the range of dates that you want to use in the report. You can select the date range from the list, or enter the dates in the From and Through boxes. The default is Last 12 Months.

Tip: You can also click  to select the dates.

11. In Sort Responses By, select Presentation Order (default) or Percent of Students Responding. Presentation Order displays results in order as questions appear on the test. Percent of Students Responding displays results in order of percentage, from highest to lowest.

12. Click Continue. The report appears in a new window.

Note: If the test questions or responses include images, the images will render in the report. If the image cannot render, it will display with the broken image icon (red X). If you wish to display an Alt Tag for an image in the report, that information must be added to the image itself within the test question or response. See Using the WYSIWYG Editors.

Note: Editing a test question or answer will reset the question’s report calculations to zero in this version of the course. Consider creating a Test Question Analysis report before proceeding if you wish to preserve that data.
