Who can use this?

  • Who: Teachers and co-teachers
  • Plans: Pro, the Performance analytics add-on on Lite, or a few free previews
  • Where: The Analytics tab of an assignment
Analytics are per assignment. There is no class-level and no student-level analytics screen. The class-level roll-up that does exist is Standards, a different feature in a different tab.

​
Limits and notes

  • Two of the five views, Strengths & weaknesses and Recommendations, need at least three graded submissions. Question analytics exists only for quizzes, exams, worksheets and problem sets.
  • Free accounts get a small number of previews, spent only on the first generation for a given assignment. The tab’s pill counts them: N free left. After that it reads Pro with a lock.
  • Held submissions aren’t included.

​
Open the analytics

1

Open the tab

Open the assignment and select Analytics. With nothing graded yet, it says so and waits.
2

Generate, if asked

Analytics build themselves as work is graded. If the tab reads Analytics are ready to generate, select Generate analytics. Generation takes one to three minutes and the page updates itself while you wait.
3

Read the coverage line

Under the heading: Based on N of M submissions · Generated and a time. M is the number of students on the class list, so a low N means work is still missing or ungraded.
The rail on the left switches between Overview, Question analytics, Strengths & weaknesses, Scores table and Recommendations. What each analytics view shows takes them one by one.

​
How to tell it worked

The Overview shows Class mean, Range and Submitted tiles and a Performance summary. A banner such as “Building class-wide patterns” means more is on the way.

​
If something goes wrong

Your free previews are used. Analytics need Pro or the Performance analytics add-on on Lite. Standards, on the class’s Standards tab, has no plan gate.
“Strengths & weaknesses and Recommendations require at least 3 graded submissions.” Grade more.
It exists only for question-based assignments. Writing, presentations, art and media show criterion breakdowns on the Overview instead.
“Recent changes will appear in the analytics shortly.” Grades that changed are being folded in; refresh in a minute.
