&lt;p&gt;I’ve noticed how reporting depth varies a lot across platforms. Tools like Canvas and Blackboard give longitudinal analytics (tracking learner growth over multiple semesters), while Kahoot! And Quizizz focuses more on immediate classroom insights. For those managing accreditation or large-scale testing, do you find reporting flexibility (export formats, longitudinal data, API access) a bigger priority than ease of quiz creation? Would love to hear what others value most in assessment reporting.&lt;/p&gt;
