In context-dependent/herzog: Get Tidy Results from Herzog Assessments

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

herzog is an R package designed to automatically scrape Herzog assessment results from the assessment_summary page for your organization.

Get results

get_herzog_results takes the assessment summary url and returns a data frame where each row is an assessment.

devtools::install_github("context-dependent/herzog")

library(tidyverse)
library(herzog)


url <- "https://bpade.essentialskillsgroup.com/custom_reports/assessment_summary.php"

herzog_results <- get_herzog_results(url)

knitr::kable(head(herzog_results), format = "markdown")

The returned table has 7 meaningful columns:

case_id: unique identifier for the assessed participant
skill: skill tested. Currently the only skills returned are Document Use and Numeracy, though that will be made flexible in future versions.
test: whether this is the first (Baseline) or second (Post) test completed by the participant for the skill
duration_mins: how long the test took the participant to complete, rounded to the nearest minute
score: the score achieved on the assessment
level: the category of aptitude associated with the score
start_date: the date and time at which the assessment was started
