Skill IQ analytics: advanced

  • Updated
  • Advanced Skill IQ analytics builds on the insights offered in basic analytics by focusing on your individual learners.

    In this article, we'll give an overview of the data and report features of advanced Skill IQ analytics, including the Skill IQ Discovery and the Skill IQ Verified tabs. Before reading, we recommend reviewing basic Skill IQ analytics.

    Important: This article describes features in the legacy analytics page. If your plan uses new analytics, please see Analytics by learning type instead.

    Not sure which version of analytics your plan is using? Please see Phased release of new analytics to learn more.

    Note: Custom skill groups, a feature of advanced analytics, are accessed from the Subject table of the Skill IQ Discovery analytics home page. Please see custom skill groups for details.

    Web report

    To get started:

    1. Click Analytics in the Leader view of the navigation menu.
    2. Click the Skill IQ Discovery or Skill IQ Verified tab.
    3. For Skill IQ Discovery, scroll down to the Subjects table and click a subject
      —or—
      For Skill IQ Verified, scroll down to the Assessments table and click an assessment.

    Note: If you’re a team manager and are unable to click an entry (i.e., the names of the subjects or assessments in the table do not contain links), it may be because your plan’s team manager permissions do not allow it. Plan admins can choose to either show or hide user skill levels from managers when setting team manager permissions.

    Overview (Skill IQ Discovery tab)

    1. The overview shows overall metrics regarding subjects your users have engaged with. The data fields include:
    2. Customize the web report with the date range filter.
    3. Customize the web report with the teams filter. To view unassigned users, make sure all teams are deselected.
    4. Customize the web report with the user types filter, including options for removed and free account users. If your plan includes multiple license types, this filter allows you to select which to include in the reports.

    Overview (Skill IQ Verified tab)

    1. The overview shows overall metrics regarding assessments your users have engaged with. The data fields include:
      • Total attempts
      • Assessment completions
      • Unique learners
      • Learners passed

    Visualizations (Skill IQ Discovery tab)

    You’ll find two visualizations below the overview section:

    Reassessed users trend over time

    Reassessed users shows the progress of learners who completed an assessment at least twice. Data points on the graph include:

    • First: the average of the initial scores of all learners who reassessed
    • Last: the average of the most recent scores of all learners who reassessed

    Skill level breakdown

    Skill level breakdown shows the percentage of learners in each of the five skill levels, highlighting how their skills have changed over time. You can click the segments of the top bar to see how those users have moved between skill levels. Data used for the two bar graphs include:

    • First: skill breakdown of the initial scores of all learners who reassessed
    • Last: skill breakdown of the most recent scores of all learners who reassessed

    Tip: A minimum of seven reassessed learners are required to populate the skill level breakdown. Adjusting the date range filter to a wider date range may help if your selection lacks enough data to populate the visualization. 

    Tables (Skill IQ Discovery tab)

    You'll find three tables below the visualization section. Click the skill assessments, user skill progression, and user engagement tabs to view the respective tables.
