For quizzes or school-based exams (e.g. mid-semester exams), students should access these via an Inspera submission link in their Learn.UQ course.

Three steps are:

  • Create a question set in Author in the Inspera Assessment environment. 
  • Create an Inspera LTI link in the relevant Learn.UQ course.
  • Complete the setups in Deliver the Inspera Assessment environment.
