How do I view a quiz log for a student?

In Course Navigation, click the Quizzes link.

Click the name of a quiz.

Click the Options menu [1] and click the Show Student Quiz Results option [2].

Click the name of a student.

Click the View Log link.

View the session information and the action log for the quiz.

The session information shows the start date and time [1] for the attempt [2]. The action log for that attempt shows a timestamp of each quiz action [3].

Actions can include viewing a question and answering a question. If questions are shown being answered multiple times, the student either changed the question answer(s), or the answer was generated by the quiz autosave feature.

The log also shows if the student stopped viewing the Canvas quiz-taking page [4]. Not viewing the quiz-taking page can occur from being inactive within Canvas for more than 30 seconds (including navigating to another Canvas page), or clicking out of the quiz (such as on another browser tab or window) for more than 15 seconds.

When the student returns to the quiz, the log shows the status as resumed.

To refresh the quiz log, click the Refresh icon [5].

To view responses to a question, click the link to the quiz question number.

The log may show all questions as being answered at the beginning of the quiz. This action is generated by the autosave component within Canvas quizzes. If a student clicks to answer another question, the quiz will autosave all the questions and show them as being answered.

When viewing the question answers in the log, the question will show a null or no answer response for the autosaved answer attempt.  

If the student has more than one quiz attempt, the log always shows the last attempt. Prior attempts can be viewed by clicking the number of the attempt.
