Quiz Reports
- Category: Reports
There are two types of reports available for native JoomLMS quizzes, that provide detailed information on quiz attempts, users' answers to quiz questions, and graphical representation for the answers selection. The Quiz reports can be accessed in multiple different ways, depending on the type of the report.
Quizzes Report
You can access the detailed report on all quiz attempts taken by all students of a course in the following way:
- In the Quizzes section of a course, in the Quizzes tab, click the Reports button and select Reports from the drop-down menu.
- In the Quizzes section of a course go to the Reports tab.
- In the Tracking section of a course click the Quizzes Report button on the right.
The Quizzes report lists all the quiz attempts for all the quizzes in the course taken by all the course Students.
The default report layout includes the following parameters for each quiz attempt: the date and time when the attempt was started, name, username and email of the user who took the quiz, name of the quiz, the group to which the user belongs (if any), user score (the number of points the Student received for the correct answers), total score (the maximum number of points a Student could receive if they answered all the questions in this quiz correctly), passing score (the percentage of correct answers and number of points for the correct answers a Student should receive in order for the quiz to be marked as 'passed'), attempt status (green checkmark if the quiz is passed, red X mark if the quiz is failed or if the attempt was not completed), time spent on the attempt.
You can filter the report by group, quiz, and/or by user using the drop-down filters at the top of the page.
To export the report click the Export button at the top of the list and select the format for the report from the drop-down menu. The CSV format allows to export multiple attempts completed by multiple users (check the boxes for the selected multiple attempts that should be included in the exported version or don't check any boxes at all to export all the available attempts). The XLS format allows to export multiple attempts completed by only one user at a time (select the required user in the filter at the top of the list before clicking the Export button).

- Category: Reports
In the Gradebook section of the course, you can assess Students’ activity in various aspects of the learning process. By default, the Gradebook reports display grades for various existing course elements (Quizzes, SCORMs) and the course completion status, but you can also create custom Gradebook items and manually grade them using a custom scale, which you can configure differently in each course. The Gradebook section also allows you to configure course certificates and automatic course completion criteria.
Gradebook reports
To access the Gradebook reports, enter the Gradebook section of the course. There are two reports available:
- The report with the grades for all the Students of the course.
You can see the complete list of course Students and their grades directly in the Gradebook tab when you enter the Gradebook section of the course. For each Student you can see the following information in this report: name, group, course enrollment time, answer to the course registration question (if any), course completion status, and all the existing grades in respective columns for each graded item.
The Gradebook report for the Students of the course can be filtered by group and exported in XLS/CSV formats by clicking the Export button at the top of the page. The Full View button allows to open the report in a new tab.
