Ultra feature focus – Gradebook finalisation
Staff are encouraged to set up both the total percentage and overall mark columns ahead of grade finalisation. The total percentage column calculates each student’s overall percentage mark and serves as a check to ensure the correct UQ grade is displayed in the overall mark column.
Practice online digital exams
For courses with end-of-semester digital exams, course coordinators are encouraged to offer students a practice exam. This helps students get comfortable with the exam process and test their devices. Course coordinators can create a course-specific practice exam or guide students to self-enrol using the Inspera Preparation Test.
Have you checked your Inspera exam as a student?
It is important to check your exam 'as a student' to test if it works as expected and to ensure all questions are accessible. View the Inspera Peer Review and Testing guides.
Are you keeping your grades secure?
Teaching staff are responsible for ensuring marks and grades are secure. View the Grades Security guide on practical steps you can take to improve grades security.
