Inspera Assessment allows you to add GeoGebra as a general resource to your Question Sets. 

This article explains how to use a GeoGebra link as a general resource in a question set. Unlike a custom GeoGebra file, this option provides candidates with access to all tools in the GeoGebra web application while also removing the possibility of accessing local device files, which enhances security.

How to add GeoGebra as a resource

To make the GeoGebra web application available for a test:

1. Go to the Question Set where you want to add the resource.
2. Click Show resources in the right lower corner of the screen.

3. Click Add resource and select URL from the drop-down menu. 

   

4. Paste or type in the specific GeoGebra resource link.
   • (To access the direct GeoGebra link, click here .)

   • This link has English as the default language. If you want a different language as default, replace the code "en" at the end of the link. The codes for the supported languages are:

     Danish (da), German (de), English (en), Spanish (es), Finnish (fi), French (fr), Icelandic (is), Dutch (nl), Polish (pl), Norwegian (no), Russian (ru) and Swedish (sv). 

5. Give the resource a name, and click Save.

You can add several resources to a Question Set.

GeoGebra example

If candidates need to solve a question using symbolic calculations, they can use the CAS Calculator in GeoGebra to get the answer. The candidate then makes the calculations in the GeoGebra resource and writes the final answer into the question itself.

If you want candidates to show some of the calculations they have done along with filling in the final answer, you can combine the question type Math Working and Math Entry / Number Entry in a Composite question type.

When using GeoGebra as a resource, the Grader will not see what the candidates have done. The system will not save any work in the resource, and candidates cannot submit it along with the rest of their submission.

Candidate experience

• Candidates will find the GeoGebra resource(s) listed at the bottom of the test interface, under the navigation bar. 

  

• The animation below shows what the GeoGebra resource looks like. 

  

• When candidates open the resource in Safe Exam Browser (SEB), it appears in a separate window on the right side of the test.

• Candidates can navigate between supported languages within the GeoGebra application by clicking the language drop-down menu at the top of the page in the resource window. 

  

• Any work a candidate does within the GeoGebra resource will not be saved and will disappear if they close the resource. This work also cannot be submitted along with their test submission. The grader will not see work done in the resource.
