D2L Quiz Attempt Retrieval

Question

I had a query regarding a student getting unenrolled and then getting enrolled in another section in D2L. In essence, there a SIS transfer that enabled a student transfer in D2L from one course section/offering to another.

Now the student did take some assessments and in particular one assessment is the one that needs the grade to be transferred from the previous section to the new section.

My query is this: How do I retrieve the actual Quiz 1 attempt with the student answers along with attempt score, after a student has been unenrolled in one section?

Does the student lose their actual quiz attempt from D2L when they get unenrolled?

Hello @Shamikh.S.2347, thanks for your question, and welcome to the Brightspace Community!

The fastest and easiest way to do this is to re-enroll the student into the course where they did complete these assessment activities. Their attempts and submissions remain in the course, but are hidden if they are no longer enrolled.

The other option would be to use data reports to retrieve the information.

Hope that this helps. If you have any questions please let us know!

Hello @Shamikh.S.2347,

The attempt data itself lives on; however, if the user is unenrolled from the course in which the attempt was may, you may loose visibility to it from within the user interface unless you re-enroll the user into the course where that attempt occurred.  The system does not automatically migrate with the user to the new course — the user would have to re-attempt the quiz, or someone would have to impersonate the user (organization / permissions permitting) to reconstruct the attempt in the second offering they were enrolled into.  Alternatively, one can record only the score against the user at the grade object level.

If you do not wish to re-enroll the user into the original course for looking up this information, you can attempt to pull this data from the data hub.  You can find more information on the various quizzes data sets and an entity relationship diagram in Brightspace Community.  That can be useful to someone pulling the data.  If you're not a data specialist or lack the knowledge for how you join the related data sets — you'll likely need other data sets to contextualize the course and user information — I would recommend reaching out to an administrator within your organization and/or engaging your D2L account team to inquire about services that may support that need.

I hope that helps!
