Student Performance Report Generator

This service analyses student performance on a module-by-module basis and generates sets of statistical and graphical reports. These reports facilitate visualisation and interpretation of trends and anomalies within assessment mark-distributions.

Detailed guides and tutorials are provided below, but the workflow for SITS users is as follows:

1. Extract the data for all the modules to be included in the analysis from SITS using MAV.
2. Run the SRL report PHY-MODSTATC.
3. Set the name of the exported file to identify its content and extract date, e.g. 'PHY_MODSTATC_2011-04-16'.
4. Save this file onto your computer then choose it for upload using the form below.
5. Select the academic year (for report title) that matches the MAV extract.
6. Submit the file for processing. Expect this to take about ten seconds for each discpline included in the MAV extract.
7. Your browser should automatically download the processed reports as a zip archive, which will unzip to create a directory, e.g. 'MODSTATS_PHY_2011-04-16-Reports', containing the reports. (Windows users: right-click the compressed folder and select Extract All.)
8. The visual appearance of the reports is best when viewed using Firefox or browsers (e.g. Safari or Chrome) based on the WebKit engine.
