Inspera is a cloud-based assessment platform that has been selected by Coventry University Group as its digital assessment platform. The long term vision is to use this platform to manage all our assessment workflows. For Academic Year 2023-24 the focus will be on using Inspera for its quizzing functionality and to move from paper-based formal examinations to digital provision focused on a BYOD approach.
Inspera provides a range of question types, automatically and manually marked. It supports the use of multiple attempts for the automatically marked questions, providing the functionality required for the use of Core Assessments.
Inspera is a role based system, for each assessment staff will be allocated to the role or roles required. The use of the roles will be an important element of how Inspera is used to manage assessment workflows going forward.
This page will be used to provide updates and links to support information as the project develops.
Getting Started with Inspera
As Inspera is a role based system and has an open infrastructure colleagues need to be added to the system with specified roles before they can start using the system. Colleagues are required to attend a ‘Getting Started with Inspera’ workshop, which will introduce required naming conventions and principles before they are added to the Test tenancy.
The University has two ‘tenancies’ of Inspera, Test tenancy and Production tenancy.

Test tenancy Staff login - https://coventrytest.inspera.com/admin#home There is no student access to the Test tenancy.
The Test tenancy is a staff only space which can be used as a sand-pit for colleagues to explore the use of Inspera and build assessments ready for delivery.

Production tenancy Staff Login - https://coventryassessment.inspera.com/admin#home Student direct login - https://coventryassessment.inspera.com/
Assessments, formative and summative, will be delivered to students using the Production tenancy.
When you are ready to start delivering tests to students, please use the following form for access to the Production Server: Access Request – Inspera Production Server. The Production Server has a subject based organisational structure, this form will be used to ensure you are added to the right structural unit.
