Formatting student Edline reports
Would you like more control over your reports in Edline? There are a few things you can easily change that will make your reports more meaningful.
- While in Gradequick, and in one of your classes, click on Reports, then on Edline Reports, and then on Single Term Only. (This one is formatted for Edline, so is your best bet.)
- You’ll see a possible report for one student.
- Under Options, you may wish to uncheck Print Grade Scale (since it’s not the SBS grade scale). You uncheck it by clicking on the check mark that’s there.
- Under Tests, click on Test Info. Here you’ll have many choices. Do you want your students to compare themselves to the average (Mean), or do you want them to compare themselves to the high score (High Score). I click on Use long test names so that the long description of each assignment is on the main part of the report, rather than at the bottom (reduces parent and student questions).
You may want to experiment to see what you like. You’ll have to click on OK to see what each of your choices looks like.
Similarly under Tests there is Score Info. You have some choices here, too.
- Under Students and Student Overall Statistics, you can add some statistical information to each student’s report. Many reports when we first see them from Edline start with Rank showing, but I find it makes kids nastily competitive, so I have unchecked rank.
- When you have the report the way you want it, you want to save what you’ve selected. This will save the report format for all your classes. Click on Print, then Save Report Configuration. That saves the report format for the Single Term Only report.
