Viewing Student Attempts on a Test

Attempt Log Overview

Assessment integrity is a paramount concern for instructors. The Attempt Logs report can validate if students have encountered issues while taking an assessment and help identify signs of academic dishonesty. The report is available for assessments where students are named and anonymous assessments where student names are concealed. For anonymous assessments, the report becomes active after grades are posted, and the anonymity is removed. This ensures that the Attempt Logs report is a robust tool even in scenarios where student identities are initially concealed.

Assessment Log

For tests, the logs provide the following:

  • Detailed information, including the date and time of the start and answers to each question
  • Question-specific details, such as question number, a preview of the question, and estimated time spent on each question
  • Submission receipt number, final grade, and attempt grade
  • Easy toggling between all In Progress and Submitted attempts for detailed assessment tracking

For both tests and assignments, attempt logs indicate whether the submission was made by the student or auto-submitted.

Accessing the Attempt Logs Report

Instructors can access the Attempt Logs from two areas:

  • From the 3-dot menu on the assessment's submission page – this is only available for individual assessments
