One-person groups

If individual submissions are allowed in addition to group submissions, select “Create one-person group.”

Groups with multiple members

• One group member creates the group.
• Enter a group name (for example: “Group 1”).
• Invite participants by searching for their names. Only students registered for the exam can be found in the search.
• Click “Create group” in WISEflow.

NB

• It is not possible to add new members after the submission has been delivered.
• You cannot be a member of more than one group in an exam.
• If you are invited to a group but do not accept the invitation, the exam will not be submitted on your behalf. You will also not be able to submit an individual answer, and therefore you will not receive a grade.

Confirming group invitations

• Group members will receive an invitation that must be accepted.
• Accept the invitation by clicking “Execute” in the WISEflow dialog box.

Submitting the group’s answer

• When all invitations have been accepted, the submission can be delivered.
• Only one shared submission is delivered on behalf of the entire group.
• Any member of the group can submit — not just the person who created the group.
• Remember: you must always click “Submit”!

Submission receipt

• In the submission status view, you can see the time of submission.
• To receive a submission receipt, click “Send receipt.”
• Each group member must send their own receipt if everyone wants a copy.

OsloMet encourages students and staff to deposit their work in open repositories like NVA (nva.sikt.no). A master´s thesis published in NVA can be retrieved in Google Scholar and other search engines. The thesis will also be found in Oria (bibsys.no).

For more details on publishing your master’s thesis visit the University Library's website (student.oslomet.no).

If your master's thesis contains information subject to the duty of secrecy, it must not be made accessible or available in the open repository NVA (nva.sikt.no). In that case you must fill out a form for restricted access to the thesis and upload the document as a zip-file together with your master´s thesis:

• Form for restricted access - duty of secrecy (docx)
• Form for restricted access - duty of secrecy (PDF)

During the upload process in Inspera, you will decide whether you want your thesis to be published. If published, it will be the version you upload to Inspera that is made available in ODA. You may withdraw your consent for publication at a later stage.

If your thesis is restricted due to confidentiality obligations, you must select "No" when asked whether you want to publish your thesis. If you select "No," the thesis itself will be exempt from publication, but metadata (title, abstract, and author name) will still be made public. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid sensitive information in the abstract.

• The master's thesis is submitted in Inspera.
• The thesis must be submitted as a single PDF file.

• If you have attachments such as Excel sheets, video files, or a confidentiality agreement for classified information: these must be uploaded as a separate zip file in addition to the thesis in PDF format.
• Even if you have no other attachments, the confidentiality agreement must still be uploaded as a zip file.
