File Upload - Question Type
Home | Help Guides: File Uploads: How to create a test with a File Upload question
File upload is a question type that enables quiz takers to upload files within your FlexiQuiz tests, assessments or exams. Quiz takers can upload almost any file type from a desktop or mobile device. You can view and download any submitted documents from your Analyze dashboard.
This question format works well for:
✔ Course work submission - essays, screenshots, supporting documents
✔ Uploading CVs and supporting documents during a recruitment process
✔ Team building - scavenger or treasure hunts where people can share progress in real-time
This is how file upload pages can look for respondents:
