Assessment Events

Published: Not Available

Last Update: Not Available

 

Learn's Caliper Analytics stream has two event types dedicated to assessments:

  • AssessmentEvent
  • AssessmentItemEvent

These events work hand-in-hand. An AssessmentEvent is fired whenever a student starts or submits a test, and the AssessmentItemEvent is fired whenever a student starts or submits a question on an assessment.

Here is some of the key data that is associated with these events:

AssessmentEvent​

group.courseNumber - the course batch_uid (i.e. the ID sent in by LIS or Data Integration)

object.@id - …/assessments/id - the primary key for the assessment ID

action - Started, Completed

AssessmentItemEvent​

group.courseNumber - the course batch_uid (i.e. the ID sent in by LIS or Data Integration)

object.@id - …/questions/id - the primary key for the question ID

object.ispartOf.@id .../assessments/id - the primary key for the assessment this questions is a part of

action - Started, Submitted
