Ideas Portal (Closed)
The Surpass Ideas Portal is now closed.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed over the years by submitting and voting on ideas, which have all been extremely valuable to the development of Surpass. We are no longer accepting new ideas via the IdeasPortal.
We still want to hear ideas form the Surpass Community,and in order to streamline the process we’re moving to a new innovations management system, which will allow us to efficiently manage and review ideas.Surpass champions within each organisation will have access to the new system and will be sent details of this soon.
All ‘open’ ideas on the Ideas Portal will be sent back to the parent organisation that submitted them, for review and resubmission on the new system where appropriate.
Thanks again to everyone who has contributed.

Have the ability to directly add media like video urls into the candidates feedback.
Please, have the ability to directly add media like video urls into the candidates feedback or into the option 'add media to your item'. This will be highly practical in formative testing. Candidates can easily review tutorial instructions or explanation. This will be less time consuming process considering the option that is now available: 'insert from your computer and add to your media library'.

Add possibility to save results on scorm-packages in the LMS/VLE
Scorm content packages can be exported from Surpass and imported for use in the LMS/VLE (i.e. Blackboard or Moodle). This allows a student to start a Surpass test from within a Course and view the results. This option is especially very useful for learning and/or formative tests.
The issue with the current export is that student results aren’t saved. As soon as I close the test as a student and reopen my test, the results are gone. Also the teacher hasn’t the ability to view the student results in the VLE. I called our LMS-supplier and they told me that…

Option to NOT randomise order of a 'Select from a List' question Type.
I would like the order of options in a picklist to appear in a test in the same order they have been authored, so that they are not automatically reorder.
21 votesIt has been decided through the gathering feedback process that this idea will instead have a new option to order the pick list answer options in alphabetical order as opposed to using the not randomised proposed idea. Therefore I shall close this idea and create a new one.

Would it be possible to receive an email if an item or toll in a live exam becomes corrupted?
We have had a few issues recently when a item or image has corrupted in test form that has made a live exam invalid. As we schedule our exams a couple of months or so in the future would it be possible for users to receive an email when an item or tool becomes corrupted?

Searching improvement: how more details on item
Searching for an item with specific specifications such as an image, a video, enemy relations is very time consuming. Now it is nessecary to open each file and sometimes also the settings on the file.
I would be great if there was an possibility to open a view which shows more details. A column showing the name and format of the attachment, a column which shows enemy relations and a column showing tags/learning outcomes etc.

Subject Tagging
Provide the option for tagging Subjects i.e. if a number of Subjects all relate to the same Study Programme/Course, allow them to be tagged with the Course name. This would make it much easier to locate specific Subjects when creating/scheduling tests etc
