Is there a way to download data concerning how much time each student spent on a quiz?
I've found the average completion time per section in the "Quiz Summary," but it doesn't give a standard deviation or individual student data. I thought I could get it from the "Student Analysis Report," but it looks like that only has submission times without start times. Is there a way to download a file containing the completion times? Or, at least the start and end times?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Both the classic quizzes tool and the New Quizzes tool have a moderation feature that show you the time a student took on the exam. The following guides will show you those sections!

The moderate quiz link shows me the data. But can I download it? (I know copy paste can be an option, but I am averse to such manual interventions since they may create errors)
Agreed with the others who replied here. As an instructor with hundreds of students each semester analyzing completion times for purposes of academic integrity and for student behavior as correlated with scoring, it would take me hours just to generate a manipulable list of student completion time. Just working through a list of students who finished anomalously fast (e.g., 5 min or less for a 30-40 minute quiz) takes me an hour. Why is this not in the data of a student quiz csv output?
Agreed, I have several quizzes where I need to see across all quizzes what time is spent
a. per student
b. average for that quiz as a whole
Both in an excel sheet we can send to clients.
Does the moderator of this thread have any option that can help download information on time to complete?
