Extract Information Across Quizzes

Extract Information Across Quizzes

I have some questions that I ask students on every Moodle quiz primarily for informational purposes.  For example, how much time was spent in reading and other preparations before taking the quiz?  I would like to gather these answers across quizzes by student.  Is there a nice way to do this from within Moodle (version 2.2.2)?  One way to think about this would be that I want something like the User report in the Grade book but with answers to specific questions rather than scores.

If this is not possible, my plan B is to download a spreadsheet of the responses for each quiz and write a program to read these files and extract the relevant information and place into the desired format.

I don't think this would be very easy to do within Moodle, although is you are good with SQL, you might be able to do it with https://github.com/timhunt/moodle-report_customsql. (http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Overview_of_the_Moodle_question_engine#Detailed_data_about_an_attempt might give you a starting point).

Doing it by downloading lots of spreadsheets, and then processing offline, will definitely work.

Thank you for this information!  I will now have to decide how important this is in the grand scheme of life to determine how much effort I will put into this.
