How to Access "Access Log" for an Exam Attempt
- Access the course's Control Panel.
- Click Grade Center to expand the menu.
- Click Tests to view only tests in the grade center smart view.
- Locate the cell for the student’s test that you want to investigate.
The cell must contain either a grade or the Needs Grading icon for an access log to be generated. If you submitted the test for the student, an access log isn't generated unless the student selected Save All Answers.
- Access the cell's menu and select Attempt.
- On the Grade Test page, expand the Test Information section.
- Select Access Log.
The Access Log shows a detailed list of all the interactions a student had with the test for that attempt. The log shows the time the test was started, when each question was saved, and when it was submitted.
An instructor might interpret an unusual gap in activity as a connectivity problem if the student claims to have had one. However, the system can't determine what caused the time gap. The system can only show that the time gap occurred.
NOTE: Time spent on a question may include the time that the student spent looking at other questions before saving that answer.
