Inspera Assessment provides an option to add Invigilator instructions as a PDF document to an assessment. This feature allows you to provide extra information directly to Invigilators without needing to send it outside of Inspera Assessment. These instructions become available for download to the Invigilator along with the invigilator password. By default, these instructions are accessible 60 minutes before the test begins, though this timing can be configured.
This article explains how Planners can manage Invigilator instructions and describes the Invigilator's experience when accessing these instructions.
How Planners manage Invigilator instructions
Planners are responsible for uploading and managing the PDF document containing invigilator instructions.
The feature to add invigilator instructions is available at two different stages of the assessment creation:
- In the Security section of the assessment setup.
- When reviewing settings before activating the assessment.
At either of the available stages, click Upload to add a new instruction file.
Once you have uploaded a file, options to Replace or Remove the file will become available, allowing you to update or delete the instructions as needed.
You can add, replace, or remove a file even after the test has started. However, Invigilators will not be notified automatically of these changes. Any modifications made after the instructions become available for the Invigilator should be communicated manually to them.
Invigilator experience
Invigilators gain access to download the instruction file as soon as the test information becomes available to them. The default timing for this is 60 minutes before the test starts.
The link to download the instructions file is placed on the front page of the assessment, along with the Safe Exam Browser (SEB) password and the Invigilator password.
