Platinum Analytics - Analysing Quiz and Study Pack Usage

This article is about using the Analytics tool to analyse quiz and study pack usage - you can see more information about analysing quiz scores here.

Carousel Platinum now includes usage analytics, which allow users to track data on quiz completion and more across Year Groups, Subjects and teachers.

To use the Usage Analysis tool:

Go to the ‘ANALYSIS’ tab and make sure you're on the 'Usage' section:

There are four drop-down menus that work as filters:

In: Select the Academic Year you wish to analyse usage from.

Group By: Year, Teacher, or Subject

And: Allows you to combine a second grouping of Class, Teacher, Year or Subject to your initial selection in 'Group By' - for example, you can 'Group By' Teacher and then 'Class' to see the usage analytics for each teacher's class (see below). It is possible to leave this blank and view your 'Group By' selection only.

Aggregated: Dictates if the data shown is aggregated by the 'Group By/And' filters (Yes) (e.g. If 'Group By' is Year, you will see the data for all Year 7 classes/students combined in one row) or shows you the data at individual student level (No). The default is Yes.

If the ‘Heatmap’ option is activated, the chart will show the results in graduated colours for quick visual identification. The lightest colours will show the highest results, and the darkest the lowest:

Each column can be filtered by clicking on the cog icon:

In the example above, the usage data is grouped by Year and Class, with the aggregation set to 'No', which shows the data by individual student. By using the Class column filter, you can then select a specific class to look at in more detail.

What the table shows

The below example has the data grouped by Year and Subject, however the same principals apply for any combination of groupings. The example also has the aggregated filter set to Yes.

The table is divided in two, with data about QUIZZES on the left, and STUDY PACKS on the right:

• QUIZZES data in each row shows you the number of quizzes set in the selected Academic Year and as per the grouping (e.g. Year 7 Biology in the 21/22 Academic Year), the % of those quizzes that were 100% completed, and the average number of questions per quiz.
• STUDY PACKS data in each row shows you the number of study packs set in the selected Academic Year, the total number of quizzes that all students combined have created across those study packs, and the number of questions that have had answers submitted across those study packs. (If the data has the aggregation set to No, you would see a breakdown of individual student data to track Study Pack engagement)

The TOTAL row for QUIZZES tells you:

• Combined total of Quizzes Set as per your Academic Year and chosen groupings (e.g the total number of quizzes set in all Years in all Subjects in the selected academic year)
• % of total quizzes that were 100% complete
• Overall average of number of questions per quiz across total quizzes set as per academic year and groupings

The TOTAL row for STUDY PACKS tells you:

• Combined total of Study Packs Set as per your Academic Year and chosen groupings
• Combined total of Quizzes Created across all the Study Packs set as per your Academic Year and chosen groupings
• Combined total of Questions Answered across all the Study Packs set as per your Academic Year and chosen groupings

If you set the aggregation to 'No', you will see rows for each student as per your grouping.

For example, if grouped by Year and Class, the table will appear in ascending order from your 'Grouped By' selection of Year, and organise the corresponding classes in ascending/alphabetical order too. Where you have students in multiple classes, the student will appear in multiple lines per the grouping (i.e Aaron A would have a row of data corresponding to his Year 7 Maths class and his Year 7 Science class).

Within each student row, under QUIZZES you can see:

• The total number of quizzes that student has been set as per the Academic Year and chosen groupings
• % of total quizzes that the student 100% completed
• Overall average of number of questions per quiz across total quizzes set as per academic year and groupings

Within each student row, under STUDY PACKS you can see:

• The total number of study packs that student has been set as per the Academic Year and chosen groupings
• The number of quizzes that student has created across all study packs they were set
• The number of questions that the student had submitted answers to across those study packs

The TOTAL row gives you the combined totals/averages for ALL students selected as per the Academic Year and chosen groupings.
