File upload questions

Design questions in which responders are required to upload a file as their response.
April, 2025

File upload questions enable test-takers to submit one or more files as their response. This question type is ideal for collecting offline work, completed assignments, or any type of document that cannot be assessed with standard input formats.

Creating a file upload question

  • Go to the Question bank and click + New Question.
    • Select File Upload as the question type.
      • Enter your question prompt in the editor (e.g., “Please upload your project file.”).
        Ensure test-takers are informed about allowed file types and expected file names/formats in the question text.

        Test-takers will see a simple upload interface, where they can:

        • Upload the desired file from their computer.
          • Remove or replace a file before submission if needed.
            Preview the question to confirm how it will appear to the test-taker.
