New - Quiz Attempts Log

What is Updated?

When grading a quiz a new Attempts Log is available.

The following actions are reported in the Overview tab:

• • Attempt Started
  • Attempt Submitted
  • Attempt Deleted
  • Attempt Restored

Links are presented to limit the view to a specific log activity.

The Detailed log reports the following actions:

• • Quiz Entry and re-entry
  • Response Save time
  • Page Movement time
  • Quiz confirmation screen / completion

These logs are for the entire class, this means the volume of information can be a bit overwhelming on the Detailed tab. This same information has always be available when viewing an individual quiz attempt and selecting the Quizzes Event Log link.

New - Restore Deleted Quiz Attempts

What is Updated?

With the new Quiz Attempts Log instructors have the ability to easily restore deleted Quiz attempts.

In the Quiz Attempts log listing, a Restore button will be available on Quiz Attempt Deleted log entries that have not already been restored.
