Agenda
9.30am – Start
1. Why do question level analysis?
10.30am-10.45am - break
12 noon - finish
1. Why do question level
analysis?
2. What question level analysis
is possible in RAISEonline
3. Populating RAISEonline
with question level data
Populating RAISEonline with a pupil level common transfer
file (CTF)
NB. This must be done before you download question level templates or your
question level files will not import into RAISEonline.
Two steps:
Macros must be enabled to ensure the data you enter will upload into
RAISEOnline.
NB. If your security settings are set to not allow you to enable macros you
will need to use a different PC or contact your IT support
Step 4. Populating question level template
A template will then open which should contain the names and UPNs of the pupils
in the chosen year group and a column for each question for the chosen paper
NB. If you do not have any names in your template or you have the wrong year group
in your template then your CTF has not imported correctly – you will need to get
this right before you start populating your template
Step 4. Populating question level template
NB. This is different from PAT where a – was used if a child did not attempt
the question and different from how NFER sent data back last year to schools
who had their papers externally marked (they used an X).
Step 4. Populating question level template
How to deal with pupils who have left your school since sitting the tests
Any pupils who took the test but have since left will not appear in the template if
they were not in your CTF
You can not just add these to the bottom of the template as they will not import into
RAISEonline.
You can add a pupil directly into RAISEonline (using the create a new pupil
option in data management) but consider whether it is necessary to include children
who have left in your analysis?
Step 4. Populating question level template
How to populate the template if you already have your question level data
electronically (eg. from NFER)
It is not actually the template you enter the marks in that feeds into RAISEonline.
Saving the file populates a second data sheet and it is this that RAISEonline reads.
Therefore you can not just amend a spreadsheet you already have your data in so
it looks like the RAISEonline spreadsheet as this will not import into RAISEonline
Instead ensure the two files contain the same children in the same order
(alphabetically by surname in RAISEonline template), ensure any non answered
questions are populated with Ns and there are no blanks or incorrect characters and
then copy the question marks from your spreadsheet into the RAISEonline template.
Step 5. Importing completed question level template
To import your completed QLA template click on data management, then
import data, then question level analysis….
Step 5. Importing completed question level template
Use the browse button to navigate to your completed, saved QLA
template and then click open
Step 5. Importing completed question level template
Then click upload file. RAISEonline will tell you your file has been
uploaded (whether it has or hasn’t).
You will then get a message at the bottom
of the page either saying completed with
result type yes, which means your file has
uploaded, or completed with results type
no, which means your file has not
uploaded and need to view the upload
report, correct any problems and try again
4. Understanding and avoiding
errors
Error 1. Tried to import file containing a pupil with no results
Solution: go back to your template and either enter results for or delete this pupil
Error 2. Tried to import file containing a Xs for omitted questions rather than Ns
Examples of where you get this include trying to import another type of spreadsheet other
than the RAISEonline template or importing a RAISEonline template where you have
deleted one of the required populated or formula fields
Solution: ensure you are importing a RAISEonline template and be very careful if
pasting data into the template to not lose any of the required fields
Summary – points to remember
Before you can download and complete question level templates you must
first create a CTF from SIMS and successfully import this into RAISEonline
You must enable macros when opening the template
If the template does not contain the relevant pupils names your CTF has
not uploaded and you will need to try again.
Ensure you only enter either a relevant mark (usually a 0 or a 1) or an N
Ensure there are no blanks. Any pupils who did not sit the tests should be
deleted.
If you have the question level data electronically you need to copy this into
the RAISEonline template for importing (ensuring you only have valid
characters and the pupils are in the same order)
When importing the QLA template you need a “completed with result type
yes” message before you are able to start analysing your data
