Digital On-Campus Exam Support for Staff
Digital on-campus examinations are delivered in Inspera Assessment*. Students complete the exam on their personal laptop, or a laptop borrowed from the Library using a lockdown browser.
For centrally timetabled exams, submit a request using the exams online portal. All support will be coordinated centrally.
For school-based exams, the school is responsible for coordinating all exam logistics listed below. Exam logistics should be organised at least 3 weeks prior to the exam date to ensure resource and staff availability.
*Note: UQ Medical School do not use Inspera Assessment for digital exams. For UQ Medical School digital on-campus exams, refer to UQ Medical School - ExamSoft.
2. Book a digital exam venue
When booking a digital exam venue, additional space is required to accommodate staff and students. There should be:
- Sufficient desk space for each student to use their laptop and rough paper
- Sufficient walkways for staff to attend to student queries and troubleshoot device issues
For example:
- Collaborative rooms should have no more than one student at each side of the desk.
- Learning theatres should leave every 3rd row free for staff to attend to student queries in the rows either side.
To book a suitable digital exam venue for school-based exams:
- Review the list of rooms at UQ to find a room with appropriate capacity including the extra space required
- Use UQ BookIt to book a suitable room for the exam duration plus:
- 1 hour before the start time to allow for room set up,
- 30 minutes after the scheduled end time to allow for possible technical delays and pack down
- Instruct students to arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled start time to get seated, log in and launch their exams in Safe Exam Browser.
- Consider how you will set up the venue on exam day to ensure students sit in the appropriate seats.
