When a user interacts with eClass, such as by logging in and out of eClass, viewing course material, participating in discussion forums, submitting an assignment or taking a quiz, their journey throughout the course is time-stamped in the logs. 

For a quiz, the course logs help you understand and validate when students:

• viewed a quiz
• started a quiz
• viewed a quiz attempt
• viewed a quiz attempt summary page
• submitted a quiz
• reviewed a quiz attempt

All of the these events are time stamped and can be accessed from the logs. Below is an example screenshot of what this might look like.

Under the Event name column, there are a number of possible outputs. Here are the most common ones and what they represent: 

Course module viewed - This event is triggered when the student is on the quiz landing page before or after taking the quiz. 

Quiz attempt started - This event is triggered when the student begins their attempt.

Quiz attempt viewed - This indicates the student has viewed a question. Each page could have one or more question depending on the layout designed by the instructor. 

Quiz attempt summary viewed - This indicates that the student viewed the summary page after finishing the attempt.

Quiz attempt submitted -  This indicates the student submitted the quiz after viewing the summary page. This could be triggered automatically as well, for example, when the time is up and the settings indicate to upload all attempts at that time. If this entry is missing, the system did not receive the quiz. This may be due to an incompatible use of a role. Contact askit@yorku.ca for more information

Quiz attempt reviewed - Depending on the quiz setting selected by the instructor, the student may or may not be able to view the review page of their attempt. If the instructor has disabled students from seeing their attempt after submission, they will not be presented with the review page.

There is other information in the logs that might be useful. In addition to each event being time stamped, the IP address is also logged, which gives a general indicator of the geographical region the student has accessed the quiz from, provided a VPN is not being used. The logs do not indicate if the student lost internet connection or if there was any delay in viewing questions during the exam, as the path the information takes from the student to our server is varied and oftentimes, dynamic. The logs only indicate what eClass is able to capture once the packets flow into our domain.
