Removing Student Item Statistics for Quizzes. - Information Technology

Removing Student's Access to Item Statistics on Quizzes/Exams

Students have the option in WebCT to not only review their quizzes and exams but also to see statistics on how their grade compares with all the grades for the test as well as detailed item statistics for every question asked on their exam. The detailed item statistics include the full text of every question along with the performance stats from the class. If you do not want your students to be able to view and print all the questions on your quiz or exam, you can follow these instructions to remove access to view statistics.

Step 1

Copy and paste the following script to the upper textblock on the Quizzes/Surveys page in each of your courses:

<script type=text/javascript>
var _url = self.location.href;
if (_url.indexOf("/student/") != -1) {
   parent.frames[0].location.replace("/_COURSEID_/quiz/uppertext.html");
}
</script>

Step 2

Go to Manage Files and create a new folder (grey Create folder button) in the MyFiles area with the name: quiz

Step 3

Create a new file (grey Create file button) with the name uppertext.html and save it to the quiz folder you just created in Step 2. Copy and paste the following content in your uppertext.html file:

Step 4

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<link rel="STYLESHEET" href="/web-ct/en/style/styles_all4x.css" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">

</style>

</HEAD>

<BODY style="overflow:hidden; background-color: #e2e5e9">

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td rowspan="3"><b>For each item<br>
shown below:</b>
</td>
<td>Availability:</td>
<td><span class="fieldvalue">The dates and times during which you can complete the quiz.</span></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Duration:</td>
<td><span class="fieldvalue">The time permitted for completion of the quiz (if time is limited).</span>
<img src="/web-ct/en/img/dot_divide.gif" alt="" border="0" class="alignMiddle" />
Grade: <span class="fieldvalue">Your recorded score (if available)</span></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Attempts:</td>
<td><span class="fieldvalue">The number of attempts permitted</span></td>
</tr>
</table>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Students will no longer see the links to Quiz Stats at the top of the Quizzes/Surveys page. Note that this will remove this option from all quizzes/exams in the course.
