Adding students by importing their papers

Before getting started

In order to grade your students' papers and see their reports, you need to add the students to a course first.

There are 4 ways to add students to a course in OpExams:

• Manually (you enter the student's info)
• Invitation link
• CSV file
• Via importing papers for a paper exam

This article covers the last method, adding students Importing papers.

Student groups

In OpExams, students are organized into groups, a group can be a classroom, a course, a team, etc.

• You can link one group to multiple courses and you can also add multiple groups to a single course.
• You can have as many groups as you want, and you can add students to as many groups as you want.

Creating a student group

1. From your sidebar, go to Courses > Course name > Student groups.
   If it's your first time creating a student group, you will see a message saying that you don't have any groups yet.

2. From the top right corner, click on the Link group button.

3. Click on the Create new group button. Enter the group name, and click on the Add button. (If you already have a group, you can skip this step.)

4. Now you can see the group you just created. Click on the group card to open it.

Adding students

Typically, you would add the students to a course before importing the papers, but you can also add students to a course after importing the papers.

1. Import your papers. We have already covered this in detail in Importing handwritten answers and Importing scanned bubble sheets.

2. Because the students are not added to the course yet, the system will ask you to match the papers to their students. The page should look like this:

   

3. You will see a preview of the name and student number section from the paper to know which student you're adding.

4. Next to the images, click Select then choose Add as a new student.

5. You will see a few inputs to fill in the student's info. The name and student number might already be filled in by the AI.

6. Select the Group you want to add the student to.

7. Repeat the last steps for each of the students.

8. Once you're done, click on the Submit button.
