Your Assessments in Inspera
Your Electronic Course Profile (ECP) will have details about the assessments you need to complete in your course.
For centrally timetabled exams:
- Go to uqi.inspera.com and log in using your Single Sign On.
- Bring your nominated device for Multi-Factor Authorisation when you log in.
- Your centrally scheduled exams will be listed in the My Tests tab of your Dashboard approximately one week prior to your exam
- Check that your Inspera test matches the date, time and duration of your exam provided in your Personal Timetable.
For all other assessments:
- Your course coordinator will have set up a link in your Learn.UQ (Blackboard) course site in the assessment section.
- Click on the Inspera Assessment link to enrol in the assessment
- Once you have clicked on the link in your Learn.UQ (Blackboard) course site once, access your assessment by navigating to uqi.inspera.com and logging in using your Single Sign On.
- Bring your nominated device for Multi-Factor Authorisation when you log in.
Note: Clicking on the Learn.UQ (Blackboard) link does not allow you to view your past assessment, check whether you have submitted, or access feedback. You will need to go to uqi.inspera.com and log in using your Single Sign On to access or continue working on your assessment once you have enrolled in the assessment.
Occasionally, your teaching team may use TestCode as the method for accessing the assessment in Inspera. If a TestCode has been provided, go to uqi.inspera.com, log in using your Single Sign On and enter the TestCode.
Inspera Dashboard
Your assessments appear on your Inspera Dashboard as below:
Exam start time: The date/time you can commence your assessment.
Standard end time: The date/time the assessment closes.
Standard time limit: This is the standard exam duration (as per the ECP) including planning time. If you have extra time, this is not included in the standard time limit.
Extra time: The amount of extra time you will have to complete your assessment if you have an Alternative Exam Arrangement. This is a combination of your extra working and rest time.
Adjusted end time: The date/time your assessment will close for you personally, including any approved extra time.
Different time zones:
If you are located outside of Australia, you may be scheduled to commence your exam at a different time.
In Inspera:
- the end time shown will be consistent with your scheduled end time, but
- the start time shown may be earlier than your scheduled start time.
The standard time limit will still apply. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient time to complete the exam before the end time.
