Inspera Assessment's One-Way Navigation is a Design setting that establishes a clear, one-directional path for candidates within a test, preventing them from backtracking to previous questions. This can be particularly helpful for tests that build on each question.
This article provides an overview of One-Way Navigation, and details how to enable it and configure its additional settings.
This feature requires activation. Please contact the Service Desk to activate it for your Inspera Assessment tenancy.
Understanding One-Way Navigation
One-Way Navigation ensures that once a candidate answers a question and moves forward, they cannot revisit earlier questions. This feature enhances test integrity, especially in contexts where sequential progression or preventing re-evaluation of past answers is crucial.
How to enable One-Way Navigation
You can enable One-Way Navigation through the design settings of your test.
- In Deliver, select the desired test.
- In the test setup, navigate to the Design settings.
- Under Options in the right side panel, click One-Way Navigation to enable the feature.
Explore additional setting
After enabling One-Way Navigation, you'll find two additional settings that are turned off by default:
- Allow candidate to dismiss confirmation: This setting lets candidates dismiss confirmation prompts for faster progression through the test.
- Prevent candidate from continuing offline: This setting requires candidates to maintain an online connection to progress through the test. It prevents candidates from continuing until a connection is restored.
Automatic settings when One-Way Navigation is enabled
When One-Way Navigation is enabled in the Design settings, Table of contents and Hide question titles are automatically enabled. You have the option to turn these off after selecting One-Way Navigation if they do not suit your test design.
