View Students’ Performance in the Pressbooks Results Viewer
📌 Requirements: Enterprise Network with a configured LTI connection and Pressbooks Results activated. To find out whether your network is ready for grade passback, contact your network manager.
As an instructor or as a student you may want to have more detailed information on a student’s performance than what is available in the LMS gradebook. While the gradebook only displays the aggregate score for an assignment, the Pressbooks Results Viewer additionally provides details on each student’s performance on individual H5P activities in an assignment at any time. Viewing this detailed information can help instructors and students understand how the grade was computed.
Add the Pressbooks Results Viewer to an LMS course
Instructors can add the Pressbooks Results Viewer to their LMS course using deep linking, the exact same method used to bring assignments from Pressbooks into the course: see the previous chapter for LMS-specific instructions. The Results Viewer appears for selection at the top of the Content Selector popup.
To make the Results Viewer available to students, follow the same steps as for any chapter or assignment resource in the course. A student accessing the Results Viewer will only see their own assignment scores, while the instructor will see all of their students’ scores.
View Results
When as an instructor you open the Results Viewer from your course, you will see this interface:
The Results Viewer shows scores for one assignment at a time. You can use the drop-down menu in the top-left corner to select an assignment to view, or you can use the Previous Assignment and Next Assignment buttons at the bottom to navigate.

❗️Assignments are only included in the Results Viewer once they have been launched at least once from the course by any user.
Understand Displayed Scores
The maximum possible score for an overall assignment is displayed below the assignment’s name. This “out of __” number is the sum of the maximum scores of H5P activities included in the assignment. This raw number is shown for reference regardless of what an instructor has set an assignment’s grade to be displayed out of in the LMS gradebook.
To the right of the assignment name, click the ⓘ icon to display the grading scheme in effect for the assignment:
Each H5P activity that has been included for scoring within the assignment is shown in a column. Below the activity title, you can view exactly how many points the activity is scored out of (its maximum possible score). In the Total column on the right-hand side, you’ll see the sum of points a student received for the assignment.
