Increase the number of questions supported by the Quiz Statistics function

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

 

Here is my idea.

 

The Quiz Statistics function currently supports up to 100 questions per quiz. For a quiz that has more than 100 questions, the analytic tool would stop working. I have spent hours to figure out this limitation.

 

Please lift the limit to 200 or more and put a note of the limitation.

 

The visualized report is different from the one (Item Analysis) that I have to download to Excel. There is NO Discrimination Index in the downloaded Excel file.

This idea was completed with general availability of Quizzes.Next.  You can find more information about the overall project in the Quizzes.Next User Group.‌

  • Quizzes.Next is now available for all paid accounts.
  • Quizzes.Next documentation will live in the Quizzes.Next User Group until July 14, 2018. On July 14, 2018, all of the documentation will be moved to the Canvas Guides in the Canvas Instructor Guide or Canvas Student Guide
  • Quizzes.Next updates will be included in the Canvas Release Notes. This includes new features, updated features, and relevant fixed bugs. New and updated features will be deployed to Quizzes.Next near the same time as the Canvas release. Fixed bugs may be deployed at any time.

We have faculty requesting this increase, as well as a definite need for analysis of other question types, such as matching, fill in the blank and calculated numeric data types. This is an important need as we move to more and more assessment data requests from accrediting bodies.

Not being able to easily access Quiz Statistics is very frustrating for our instructors. Having to download them into an Excel file just adds extra steps that can be confusing, and the downloaded files are difficult to decipher. This is not a good option for instructors.

A Bioinformatics professor at Stanford was very disappointed that quiz statistics did not render for his 140 question midterm. He had this to say about the importance of the statistics feature:

"It’s quite important:  I can sometimes find questions that are problematic and should be thrown away if many students got them wrong, I can also find questions where my answer key was just wrong because of a typo, and then get it all right.  Without that, electronic grading is no better than paper!"

We just ran into this this week. We didn't realize you can only pull the item analysis for T/F and matching Smiley Sad

Is this already being addressed in the Modern Quizzing Engine?

Quiz statistics in the Modern Quizzing Engine​ will be far more scalable. This is a known issue we intend to address.
