Quiz statistics
You can view and export quiz statistics and reports to a CSV file and/or an Excel file for data analysis. The files contain all pertinent information on the quiz so that you can query, sort, and evaluate the data without being connected to Brightspace. In this view, you can see a list of quizzes for the course. The average grade for each quiz is displayed beside the quiz name.
Note: Quiz statistics are no longer accurate if you edit a question in the quiz after the quiz question has been attempted by a learner.
To view quiz statistics:
- On the Manage Quizzes page, click the drop-down menu for the quiz you want to view and select Statistics.
- On the View Statistics page, click the User Stats, Question Stats, and Question Details tabs to view statistics broken down by user and by question.
- Click Export to CSV or Export to Excel if you want to save the quiz’s statistics to your computer.
Note: The system exports the statistics only from the tab you are currently viewing. When reports are ready for downloading, Brightspace generates a notification that you can access from the bell icon in the navbar.
Turnitin recently introduced an AI tool designed to assist instructors in detecting AI-generated content in student submissions. This tool potentially analyzes writing styles and may detect anomalies that could possibly indicate the use of generative AI. However, while this technology represents a significant step forward, caution is advised in its application. It’s important to recognize that the tool is not infallible and may not catch every instance of AI-generated content. Instructors should not rely on the AI tool to detect AI generated content, but rather, use it as one of several strategies in a comprehensive approach to uphold academic standards and encourage genuine student learning and creativity.
Understanding User Stats
User Stats CSV and Excel files contain performance data by user, including the user’s Org Defined ID, username, first name, last name, quiz score, the value the quiz was graded out of, the user’s score as a percentage, and the class average.
Note: You can create a column to calculate the median score on the quiz to consider the class’s performance from a different perspective. Use the formula <=median(x1:x5)> to calculate the median.

Understanding Question Stats
Question Stats CSV and Excel files contain data about the average score on questions by points and percentage.
The question title, text, bonus status, and difficulty level are included in the files so that data can be analyzed without referring back to the learning management system.
Note: You can sort, query, hide, and delete data to help your analysis and create charts or graphs to visually represent trends.
Note: Quiz statistics are not computed for questions in a Question Pool.

Understanding Question Details
Question Details CSV and Excel files contain detailed information about each question in the quiz, including a list of all of the answers provided for each quiz attempt, how many users chose each possible answer, the total number of responses, and the average score on the question. Question Details reports can help you evaluate trends in answers and look for questions that were unclear or difficult for a number of users.
The question title, text, bonus status, and difficulty level are included in the CSV file so that data can be analyzed without referring back to the learning management system.
Note: You can create a column that calculates the average score for all question attempts as a percentage by dividing the Average Score column by the Out Of column and multiplying by 100. Next, create a custom filter for the new Attempt Average column that displays only rows where the attempt average is less than 51%. This way you can quickly review questions that users struggle with and adjust grades or your lesson plans accordingly.
