Students creating groups 

Create the group as early as possible after the exam has opened, to assure enough time for everyone to join the group and submit the exam before the deadline passes. 
 

1: Creating the group 

• One group member logs into Inspera, enters the exam and clicks “See more details”. 
• Create a group by clicking “Create new group”. 
• Pick a PIN for the group. This is the key to adding members to the group. Do not pick a PIN such as 1234, 1111 or other “simple” codes. Then other students may accidentally join your group. 
• Distribute the PIN to the group members. 

2: Joining a group 

• The remaining members log into Inspera, enters the exam and clicks “See more details”. 
• Join the group by choosing “Join existing group”. 
• Enter the PIN code distributed by the group creator. When this is done, your candidate number is added to the group. 

3: Submitting the exam 

Do not submit the exam before all group members have joined the group. When submitting, the group will no longer accept new members. 

• One of the group members log in to Inspera and enters the exam. 
• Upload the group assignment as the specified file. 
• After the exam is over, all members can find their submission in “Archive” in Inspera. 
   

Pre-determined groups 

• One of the members of the group uploads the exam as the specified file. 
• After it has been submitted, all group members have access to the file in Inspera. 
• All group members may exchange the uploaded file up until the deadline passes. The last upload will be submitted for evaluation for all group members. 
• After the exam is over, all group members can find their submission in “Archive” in Inspera.
