Desire2Learn Learning Environment DataSets
Examples of these categories are users or sessions. Once a user has chosen a dataset to report on, they can then select a render type. Render types define the format of a report, the available render types are:
Area graph Bar graph Line graph
Pie graph Preview table
Users can also narrow down reports by adding custom filters. Filters constrain the information to only show specified and relevant results.
Datasets Include:
User Sessions: how long users have been logged in for.
Users: lists users and enrollment information
User Auditors: lists parent or guardians for each student
Roles: types of roles in the learning environment
Tools: which tools are active in courses
Org Unit Types: types of departments, schools, master courses
Org units: Shows all courses in the system
Login Attempts: shows number of logins by day, week, month
Enrollments: enrollment information for every user
Enrollment Log: changes to enrollments and by whom

Tool-Specific Reports
Reports can also be generated for the following tools or features within Desire2Learn Learning Environment:
Content
For each topic, course content statistics display the number of unique visitors and average time spent by each visitor. A user who visits multiple times is only counted once.
Content Statistics
Discussions
Statistics give you an overview of user activity in your discussion topics and forums. You can use this information to determine which topics are stimulating conversations and which are not, or who is posting frequently and who is hanging back. As the semester unfolds, you can use statistics to pinpoint topics in need of conversation-starters and to follow the participation levels of different users, so you can send email reminders to users who have not been participating, or ask overly vocal users to slow down and give others a chance to contribute. When the semester is finished, statistics help you identify the topics that were most effective and the ones you might want to omit or modify for the next course.

Quizzes
Inside the quizzes tool, teachers can access tool-specific Reports and Statistics to view statistics and class averages based on individual tests, and these statistics can even drill down to the individual question level to see question by question statistics, and even how frequently wrong answers are selected. The quiz statistics tool is also equipped with search functionality so that data can be retrieved based on individual students.
You can export quiz statistics and reports to a CSV file for data analysis. These reports can also be viewed online (such as the quiz image shown further below) or exported to a csv file for external manipulation. The CSV file contains all pertinent information on the quiz so that you can query, sort and evaluate the data without being connected to the learning management system.
USER STATS
User Stats CSV files contain performance data by user, including: the user’s “Org Defined ID”, username, first name, last name, quiz score, the value the quiz was graded out of, the user’s score as a percentage, and the class average.
QUESTIONS STATS
Question Stats CSV files contain data about the average score on questions by points and percentage. The question title, text, bonus status, and difficulty level are included in the CSV file so that data can be analyzed without referring back to the learning management system.
QUESTION DETAILS

Furthermore, Park Hill can take advantage of existing third party reporting tools. Desire2Learn Learning Environment's Reporting tool uses predefined datasets and output formats. Therefore the datasets can be accessed by any external reporting tool, for example Crystal Reports, to report on a dataset and produce the output in any format.
