Datastore Item Results guide

Applies to

  • Administrators

Prerequisites

  • Access to the Data Explorer feature in TAO Portal.

  • Knowledge of the Datastore Item Results entity.

Purpose

This document provides a practical guide to the DatastoreItemResults datastore in Data Explorer. This entity supports post-exam test taker analysis. Its purpose is to help to understand what type of evidence each datastore contains and how that information can be used to reconstruct a test taker’s behavior during an exam session. 

The guide focuses on the most relevant fields for analyzing progress, interactions, responses, technical issues and proctoring-related incidents. 

How to access the data

  1. Open Data Explorer module.

  2. In the ‘Data Setup: Configure or Load’ dropdown list, select  Datastore Item Results.

  3. In the ‘Filters’ tab, filter by the test taker ‘login’ field or by ‘deliveryExecution Id’ (represents the concrete exam session for a test taker in a given delivery).

Most relevant fields and descriptions

This section explains what data can be consulted and extracted from Datastore Item Results in Data Explorer.

The datastore stores the evaluated result of an item, together with delivery, response, score, timing, session and metadata context.

At a high level, Item Results stores:

  • the identity of the delivery execution and the item,

  • the response(s) submitted for that item,

  • the raw response(s) and raw outcome(s) produced by the engine,

  • the interpreted score and correctness / pass information,

  • timing information such as start time, end time, duration, and submission time,

  • session and metadata context,

  • LTI launch context when available.

Here below the most relevant fields:
