Students will not receive any formal training to use Inspera for coursework submissions. They will instead receive a Quick Reference Guide, which is available on the student online submissions page.
A practice test template has been created in Inspera for administrators to set up and share with students. It will allow students to familiarise themselves with the process of submitting coursework and the ‘look and feel’ of the platform prior to submission. The template will replicate the details in a real test as closely as possible but will necessarily remove elements of functionality (e.g. similarity reports) that might distort results.
The practice test is located in the ‘Deliver’ area of Inspera and instructions on how to enable it will be found in the Inspera self help guide. Once activated, students will be able to see the test in their 'My Tests' area in Inspera and will be able to see a record of their submitted test using the ‘Archive’ tab as they would in a real test situation once they have submitted.
Take a look at the roles involved in managing online coursework submissions in Inspera.
