Results for teaching and follow-up
Review session results and export the evidence
EdAuthor keeps live responses connected to their session and Activity Cards. Review the results after teaching, download response data as CSV, or export visual results as PDF on a paid plan.
Review a session or an Activity Card
Open a session review to move through its card sets and activities, or review an individual Activity Card. Use the original question and response display to put the results back in context.
Download response data as CSV
Export an individual card or the session. Depending on the activity, columns include the question, response, selected option, value, rank, outcome, points, response time, group and participant label. Open the CSV in Excel or another spreadsheet tool.
Save visual results as PDF
Export a card, card set or session as a PDF of its result views. Use desktop Chrome or Edge for the visual PDF export. This gives you a readable record for a teaching debrief or follow-up discussion.
Respect anonymous contributions
Anonymous response exports use response labels rather than exposing participant identities. Named and group information depends on the activity settings and the information collected in the session.
Use the results to plan what comes next
Look for an option many students selected, a ranking that divided the room or a reflection that reveals uncertainty. Use that evidence to choose a follow-up explanation or activity. CSV and PDF exports are paid features; session history depends on the plan.
Frequently asked questions
Can I open EdAuthor results in Excel?
Yes. Download the CSV export and open it in Excel or another spreadsheet application. The download is a CSV file, not a native Excel workbook.
Does a result export automatically sync grades to an LMS?
No. Result exports are downloadable files. LTI/LMS integration and institutional SSO are marked as planned; they should not be treated as available integrations.
Are participant names always included?
No. The information shown depends on response and anonymity settings. Anonymous contributions use response labels. An account-free join or a displayed name does not establish verified attendance.
