Reporting on Grades and Calculations

Hello

I would like to know if it is possible to run reports on the data contained in Grades for a number of courses?

We are looking to introduce pre and post course tests to our training, the idea being we can track the improvement the course brings, ie the increase in knowledge from what students knew before the training and after.

I can see how i can add in a Grade Category, and in there create a calculation that would subtract the pre-test score for the post test score, giving a numerical increase (hopefully). What i'd like to be able to do is run a report that captures that information, but not just for single course, for a all, or a range of courses.

Has anyone had any success runing reports on this data?

Thanks

Scott

Hi Scott,

I think the best solution for this would be to export the data to a spreadsheet and perform the stats operations there, this would enable graphical reporting etc too.

hope this is useful,

George.

Hi Scott

To report across several courses on grades the report builder should be used.

Currently the grades available in the report sources in the report builder only seem to be at a course rather than activity level (apart from the SCORM report source) so this could be done on SCORM tests or if pre and post tests are in separate courses.

The calculation could be done in Excel from the exported report in report builder.

It is possible to create or edit a report source to do the calculation you want but would require some coding to achieve.
