Introducing Question-Level Analysis (QLA)
Deep Insights into Class Performance Have Arrived At The CSUK:ReviseCS & CSUK:Academy Platforms
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new Question-Level Analysis (QLA) feature — now available throughout your Curriculum Progress Tables, Task Analysis Tables, and within each Task Monitor popup - on both CSUK:ReviseCS and CSUK:Academy.
This powerful tool gives teachers an instant, data-driven picture of how well their students are performing on every individual question of an assessment or quiz.
It’s a huge leap forward in understanding where learning gaps exist and why they occur — all from within your existing dashboard.
🔍 Where to Find It
Wherever you see the QLA icon, you can click to open a detailed analysis of student performance.
This small chart icon appears beneath relevant assessment and quiz tables. With just one click, it unlocks a complete breakdown of performance, instantly visualising your class’s strengths and misconceptions.
📊 From Question to Question – Visualising Understanding
The first view you’ll see is the Question-Level Visual Analysis.
Each question from the assessment is listed in order from best-answered to most-challenging, accompanied by elegant violin charts that show how your students performed.
The violin chart represents the distribution of scores for that question:
-
The width of the shape shows how many students achieved scores within that range.
-
The narrower ends indicate fewer students scored there, while the wider sections reveal concentrations of students achieving similar results.
-
The green and red colour gradients reflect success and difficulty — instantly showing whether the question was confidently answered or widely misunderstood.
-
A marker line identifies the mean (average) performance, so you can quickly compare question difficulty at a glance.
This statistical approach allows teachers to move beyond total marks and see patterns of understanding — whether the question was consistently easy, unexpectedly difficult, or polarised between high and low achievers.
🧾 The Tabular Analysis – Precision Meets Clarity
For teachers who prefer hard numbers, the Tabular Analysis view presents each student’s performance against every question.
Rows represent students, while columns show each question.
-
Green cells indicate correct or high-scoring answers.
-
Red cells highlight errors or misconceptions.
-
Hovering over or scrolling through the table makes it easy to pinpoint trends — perhaps a single concept that many students struggled with, or a high-performing student who missed a key question.
This matrix is also exportable, allowing you to download and share your analysis data for reporting or moderation.
🎯 Filter and Focus – Custom Views for Deeper Insight
The Filter Students panel lets you tailor your analysis to the subset of data you care about most.
You can:
-
Select or unselect students to isolate specific groups.
-
View only first attempts to measure initial understanding.
-
Switch to latest attempts to track improvement and learning progression.
This dynamic filtering gives you full control — so whether you want to evaluate intervention impact, compare cohorts, or identify students needing extra support, you can do it instantly.
💡 Why Question-Level Analysis Matters
QLA isn’t just a nice-to-have feature — it’s a vital part of evidence-based teaching.
By examining performance question-by-question, teachers can:
-
Identify specific misconceptions shared by multiple learners.
-
Adjust future teaching plans to revisit weaker topics.
-
Celebrate mastery of well-understood areas.
-
Provide targeted feedback grounded in real data.
It brings clarity to assessment outcomes — transforming them from numbers on a page into actionable insights that drive student progress.
