Roles
An academic can have two roles in Inspera: Author and/or grader.
Author
With the Author role in Inspera you can access the Questions tool and you can make questions and question sets.
You can also add and edit assessment guidelines.
As an author, you can share questions and question sets, by inviting several users as co-authors. When a question or a question set is shared with another author, that person gets full access to make and save revisions in the question/question set.
Please note that Inspera Assessment does not offer real-time collaboration on questions/question sets. This means that only one author can work on the question/question set at a time. The question/question set must be closed by the author before others can make changes to it.

Informing students
It is important that the students be informed that the course will have a digital exam and which type of examination applies. Students can find information about the course’s examination in the course description and on Studentweb. However, it is still important that the course teacher informs the students about what this entails.
