Questionmark template migration summer 2015
To improve the staff and student experience with Questionmark Perception (QMP) we have developed a new set of University of Bristol branded templates for use with all assessments and exams taken via the system.
These templates benefit from an improved design for students and are easier for the technical teams to support. The new templates will replace any current templates used for all assessments, including exams.
If you use QMP for assessments, including exams, you should change them over to one of the new templates. On 10 September 2015 we will transfer all remaining assessments to new templates. Please check your assessments before making them available to students after 10 September 2015. These screencasets show you how to change and assessment's template:
- Changing a template using the Authoring Manager (video)
- Changing a template using the Enterprise Manager (video)
