Create an Inspera Question Set
The first step in creating an Inspera assessment is to create its content in a Question Set on the Author page.
- A Question Set contains a series of questions you create for an assessment.
- You have access to all the question sets you created and those shared with you by other authors.
- All questions in a question set are stored in your question bank for future use.
Tip: If you are responsible for part of an Inspera assessment (e.g. you create several questions in an exam), you should create a question set with the questions you develop for the assessment and add your colleagues (i.e. collaborators) to your question set.
The workflow in creating a question set includes:
- Creating questions
- Applying the required settings to the question set
