Does Pencil provide analytics on my content?

Pencil provides two types of analytics.

First it provides analytics on content usage including the answers students give to questions, the number of times a question is used, how often a question is answered correctly, etc.

It also provides analytics on the distribution of your content. For example, how much content you have in a specific topic or sub-topic, and whether that content is easy or difficult.

Can I export my content in Pencil?

Once digitized, Pencil can provide a "database dump" of all the content that was entered.
