Question type: Upload assignment in Inspera

Create a question set

1. Choose "Author" in the top menu.
2. Choose "Question Sets" in the left-hand menu.
3. Click the button "+ Create new question set".

Give the question set a name and create a new question

1. Give the question set a name (for instance course code and semester) by clicking on "New Question Set" (or the pencil icon) in the top left of the screen.
2. Choose "+ Create new" to create a new question.

Find the correct question type

1. Choose "Upload assignment". NOTE: If the candidates are to hand in more than one file, you have to create one "Upload Assigment" question for each file.
2. You can also choose to add "Document" first to provide candidates with practical information. "Document" can for instance include information about file type, deadline and that the candidates can check "Archive" after they submit the file, to see that the assignment was successfully submitted.

Edit the question

1. Write the desired title for the question, by clicking on the question title (or the pencil icon) in the top left of the screen.
2. Write the question text (or where the candidate may find this).
3. In the right-hand menu, set maximum marks. If you're not using marks, set 0.

NOTE: PDF panel

If the question includes a PDF, be aware that if you upload a PDF as a "PDF panel", the candidates will only be able to view the PDF within Inspera. They will not be able to download it from Inspera.

Therefore, in addition to uploading the PDF as a "PDF panel", you should add it as a downloadable link by using the function "Insert file"  (the paper clip icon in the text editor). Name the link text for example "Click here to download the PDF".

Mark scheme (grading instructions)

You can add a scheme for the graders to use in the grading prosess under "Mark scheme". See Inspera's guide

File type

You can choose to limit which file types the candidates are allowed to upload. The candidates can only upload one file per question. Maximum file size is 1 GB.

The default setting is "Allow all file types". We recommend that you change this:

1. Uncheck "Allow all file types".
2. Uncheck alle file types except those that should be accepted. Recommended: .pdf only. (It is possible to choose custom file types. Specify the file type, for example .xml, in the "Custom types" field.)
3. Click "Save".

NOTE: Please be aware user information could be included when Word documents are uploaded. Therefore, to ensure anonymity, we recommend limiting the file type to PDF only. Inspera is optimized for PDF.

Translate the question set

1. When the original language version of the question set is finished, click on the settings icon (gear wheel) in the top center to edit the language settings. It is extremely important that all questions in the "original" language are 100% completed before the text is translated. It is not possible to add new interactions after the translation has been done.
2. Select the form of Norwegian/language the question set should be available in.

When the new version is activated, a copy of the question in the original language/language form will be created and this must be translated.

If a question in a question set is not translated, it will be displayed as "Not translated".

NOTE: PDF panels will NOT be transferred to other languages. They must be uploaded separately to each language.

Remember to proofread

It is not possible to change the question set in a test after the exam has begun, so it is important you proofread and test all questions in advance.

Preview

You can preview single questions or the entire question set to see how the candidates see and experience the question(s) during the test.

1. Choose "Author" in the top menu.
2. Choose "Question Sets"/"Questions" from the menu to the left under "Content types".
3. Click on the play icon  to preview the question/question set.

Alternatively: When you are in edit mode in a question set or in a question, you can preview the question/question set by clicking the eye icon in the top right of the screen:

Remember to proofread for all languages/language forms.

Share your question set with other users

In order for the examination administrator ("Planner" in Inspera) to get access to your question set and to create a test with it, you first need to share the question set with the examination administrator.

You can also share the question set with your co-authors.

Make sure you share the entire question set and not only a single question. When you see the entire question set, click on the person icon in the top right of the screen. In the window that appears you will see "This question set is shared with" where you can see which users who have already been given access to the question set. If you share a single question, in the window it will say "This question is shared with".

If you make any changes in the question set after you have shared it with the examination administrator, notify this person about the change.
