Administrator: Report Builder 2.0

This feature allows Administrators to create custom reports across multiple projects based on hierarchy level (area), project criteria, course criteria, instructor, teaching assistant, and/or question criteria.
This feature also allows Instructors and Teaching Assistants to create custom reports across multiple projects based on course enrollment and/or question criteria.
Reports created in Report Builder 2.0 are saved within the user's Report Builder 2.0 dashboard and can be copied, edited, exported, and/or shared.
All of the reporting functionality in Report Builder 2.0 can be used for both Course Evaluation Projects and General Survey Projects.

NOTE

Both Report Builder and Report Builder 2.0 are available in customer accounts created prior to November 4, 2018, while only Report Builder 2.0 is available in customer accounts created on/after November 4, 2018. Please consult with your institution’s CES Administrator for availability.

Report Builder 2.0 requires Instructor enrollments in courses. This requirement does not apply to the other reporting features.

Reporting Types

Areas: With this report type users can compare data from one area or between multiple areas of their account hierarchy. Area data can be compared longitudinally over time, across projects, and across Areas. Data can be aggregated to summarize the area or dis-aggregated to show course or instructor-level detail within the area.

Note: When selecting an area, all child nodes under a parent are also included in the report.
Projects: With this report type users can compare data from one project or between multiple projects. Data can be aggregated to summarize the project overall or dis-aggregated to show course or instructor-level detail within the project.
Courses: With this report type users can compare data from one course or from multiple courses. Course data can be compared longitudinally over time, across projects, or from within the same project. Data can be aggregated to summarize the project overall or dis-aggregated to show course section or instructor-level detail within the project.
Instructors: With this report type users can compare Instructor data from the same instructor or from multiple instructors. Instructor data can be compared longitudinally over time, across projects, or from within the same project. Data can be aggregated to summarize the project overall or dis-aggregated to show course section or instructor-level detail within the project.
Teaching Assistants: This report type is the same as Instructors, but is segmented to just Teaching Assistant data.

Report Groupings

This feature allows the user to aggregate and dis-aggregate data based on logical groupings within the five different report types.

Filter Results by Responses to Survey Questions

Using this feature the user can slice and dice the data based on specific responses to one survey question or multiple survey questions. This allows the user to easily view the responses for just a desired segment.

Question Results & Aggregated Results

In addition to individual question-level metrics, in Report Builder 2.0 you can easily view data aggregated across multiple questions. Aggregated Results allows you to see a mean score across multiple survey questions, as well as overall percent and frequencies.

Note: This feature requires questions to have a common scale.

Add Benchmarks to Reports

This feature offers the ability to quickly add up to three selected levels of aggregated data in order to benchmark against. For instance, a user can view course-level data and easily compare that to aggregated data from the department, school, and institutional levels.

Filter Results by Student or Respondent, Course, and Instructor Metadata

Uploading metadata to courses, students/respondents, or instructors allows you to view survey results based on your segmented metadata. You can import external data related to these areas into Course Evaluations & Surveys, then easily segment your data to view the survey results for just the criteria selected related to students/respondents, courses, and/or instructors. External metadata can be brought into Course Evaluations & Surveys via API, FTP to Project, and direct upload options.

Report Sharing

Once you have generated your report you can share it with other users. You can share your reports within Course Evaluations & Surveys with other users, email a secure link to the report for people who do not have an Course Evaluations & Surveys account, or you can generate a link to paste on a web page if you want to share a report publicly.
