QMP Training
All staff of the University are entitled to use the Questionmark Perception service. Students may also do so but require the authorisation of the lecturer or supervisor.
Set-Up Information
Questionmark Perception is available to staff at the University of Edinburgh. To request an account for QMP, please contact IS Helpline.
QMP is a complex system and if you do not have any experience of a question authoring system it will take some effort to become familiar with this. We provide training on request for staff who are new to QMP and who want advice on how to author questions and assessments. There are also instructions and guides in the Help and Support section of this website.
There are several steps involved in authoring questions, creating assessments and scheduling these. For high stakes summative exams you will need to work with several departments to set these up, this will require time and planning.
Training
We hold regular training sessions throughout semester 1 and 2 - usually one per month. Please book a place via our learning technology web pages:
For QMP training go to the Assessment and Feedback section.
Or book directly via People & Money:
