Statistics

A range of statistics are calculated for the content and displayed in the Statistics section of the Content Summary pane.

IMPORTANT: Statistics—when viewed using the Content Repository—capture all attempts at the piece of content across all activities that it's contained in. These results don't discriminate between a student's level of mastery when the statistical values are computed. Check out Item statistics to use the Gradebook to view the data that represents how students performed on a question within a specific activity. Example — If a question about a newly-learned concept is first attempted on an introductory assignment, the students viewing this question may find it more difficult and perform less optimally than when it is presented on a subsequent review assignment. Therefore, the statistics displayed in the Content Repository's Content Summary pane will be less specific to the students completing the activity than when they are viewed using the Gradebook's Item Statistics page.

Click each statistic heading in the Content Summary pane for a pop-up to display how the value was calculated.

Count — The number of times students have attempted this question.
Correct — The number of times a student has answered this question and received a score of 1.0/1.0.
Partial — The number of times a student has received a partial mark (0.0 < x < 1.0/1.0) for this question.
Incorrect — The number of times a student has received a score of 0.0/1.0 for this question.
Success Rate — The average normalized score on the item. With each item graded between 0.0 and 1.0 (normalized), the average score is computed over the set of all scores recorded for that item.
p-Value — The ratio of the number of fully correct responses to the total number of responses in the data set. A question is deemed to be fully correct only if it has a score of 1.0/1.0. (p = F/n, where F = number of fully correct responses and n = number of responses.)
d-Value — The discrimination of an item. The dataset of scores is divided into 2 groups: those in the top-scoring half of the set and those on the bottom-scoring half. The p-Value for each group is calculated, and the d-Value is the difference of the p-Value between the 2 groups. (d = (F1/n1) - (F2/n2), where F1 and F2 are the number of fully correct responses from n1 and n2, and n1/n2 are the number of activities with scores >= / < the median grade for the activity.)
p-Biserial — A correlation coefficient relating the performance on an item and performance on the total activity. An index of discrimination that measures the extent to which students who score high on the activity tend to get the item correct and those who score low tend to get the item incorrect. Formula: r(pb) = (Y1 − Y0) × √(p × q) / σY, where Y1 = mean grade of activities on which this item was answered correctly (1.0), Y0 = mean grade of activities on which this item was answered incorrectly, p = p-Value, q = 1−p, and σY = standard deviation for activity grades.
r-Biserial — A correlation coefficient relating performance on an item and performance on the total activity. An index of discrimination that measures the extent to which students who score high on the activity tend to get the item correct and those who score low tend to get the item incorrect. Formula: r(b) = (Y1 − Y0) × (p × q / Y) / σY, where Y1 = mean grade of activities on which this item was answered correctly (1.0), Y0 = mean grade of activities on which this item was answered incorrectly, p = p-Value, q = 1−p, Y = the height of the standardized normal distribution at the point z, where P(z'<z)=q and P(z'>z)=p, and σY = standard deviation for activity grades.

Hints

Hints are used to help guide your students to the correct response during an activity attempt.

Revisions

Anytime content is edited, a new version of the content is generated and recorded as a revision.

When a content edit is made, the Revisions field in the Content Summary pane stores each historical version of the content with a time stamp to indicate when it was last modified.

By default, when a user attempts an activity that includes the content with revisions, the most current (recent) revision of the content will be the version that they see in their activity.

In the Revisions field, you can:

View — Click View to preview the content revision.
Clone — Click Clone to copy the content into your class so that you can make a new set of revisions to it (and also have your version of the content be unaffected if the original author makes edits).
Make Current — Click Make Current to assign an older content revision as the version to be seen in future attempts at the activity containing the content.
