Assessment Results
Akindi Results are broken down into three separate tabs to help you better understand how your students performed and how well your assessment questions performed:
Overview Tab - gives you a snapshot of your assessment’s overall performance. Think of it as your “at-a-glance” dashboard for results.
Graphs Tab - contains the item analysis of all your questions, making it easy to spot patterns and trends at a glance.
Responses Tab - the full spreadsheet view of all the students and their individual grades.
