Document Upload

A Document Upload response collects a file from the student instead of a typed answer.

Typical uses include:

  • scanned handwritten work
  • annotated PDFs
  • spreadsheets
  • code files

Example

"response": {
  "mode": "Document Upload",
  "uploadMode": "code",
  "codeType": "alphanumeric",
  "fileExtensions": ["pdf", "png"],
  "notGraded": true
}

Parameters

  • uploadMode
  • direct: the student uploads the file during the activity
  • code: Möbius generates a document code and the file can be uploaded later on the student's behalf
  • codeType
  • numeric
  • alphabetic
  • alphanumeric
  • fileExtensions: allowed upload extensions without dots
  • notGraded: whether the response is treated as not graded / manual collection

Notes

  • Document upload questions are manually reviewed in Möbius workflows.
  • Nobius normalizes this response type to the lower-level fields used by the rendered Mobius package.
  • Adaptive questions in Nobius reject Document Upload response areas during validation.
