Handing in hand drawn answer sheets in a home exam

Digitized paper responses may be used as a supplement to a home exam.
The candidate is responsible for paper sheets and writing tools.

Hand drawn paper responses can be digitized by using a document scanner or alternatively by capturing an image with a camera/phone, and consequently uploading the files as a part of the answer in Inspera Assessment. Please note that this will not be possible for all subjects, as the course administrator is responsible for information and for making the option available. Therefore, make sure that you read through the entire exam and inform yourself whether drawings may be used or not.

Black/blue pen is not a requirement, unless the exam informs you otherwise, you may also hand in drawings with coloured pens.
Make sure that your answer sheets are readable, as with ordinary school exams, unreadable parts of the answer may be dismissed.
You are expected as a student to be familiar with the tools and the use of these before the exam.
We recommend that you read through your answer sheets before and after sending them in.

File uploads: All files must be uploaded before the exam time expires. For home exams with a duration of up to and including 6 hours with hand drawings, +30 minutes will be added to the base exam time for digitizing the hand drawings and uploading. The remaining time of your exam will always be visible in the upper left corner of the Inspera Assessment.

Tips for getting good results:

  • Make sure that the lighting is good.
  • Frame the image such as it only includes the answer sheet, either by cropping it or being observant of what is on and around the sheet.
  • Hold the camera as straight as possible with a clean lense and minimal movement.
  • Double check your images and take more pictures rather than relying on a single image, keep control over which image will be a part of the answer.

Hand drawings must be sent in as PDF-files as long as no other information has been disclosed.
Ever answer sheet must be noted with:

  1. Subject code
  2. Date of exam
  3. Candidate number
  4. Task number

Example:

Recommended software for digitizing images

We recommend the mobile app "Microsoft Office Lens - PDF Scanner" if you wish to use your phone to digitize the answer sheets. The software is available for both Android and iPhone in their app-stores and are free to use. The app has the functionality of cropping and exporting multiple images to PDF without the use of other tools.
You should still take advantage of the method you are the most comfortable with. The end product is the most important. Options include Genius scan, or USB.
