Digital Assessment on a National Scale

Digital assessment is the digitalization of traditional exam and assessment methods that can be taken by a student on a digital device. This can be both on or offline and in a range of formats, from multiple choice tests to formal exams or even coursework submission. Digital assessments can provide immediate feedback to students and offer greater flexibility and accessibility for students in different locations.

Proctored exams are assessments that are supervised by a proctor, someone appointed by an institution to ensure the exam follows regulation.

If delivered face to face, proctored exams are conducted in an invigilated exam hall, where the proctor makes sure proper conduct is maintained in-person. Online proctored exams are a digital version of an invigilated exam hall. During online proctored exams, students are monitored using a proctoring software, ensuring exam integrity is upheld.

AI detection is the process of evaluating a piece of content for the probability of generative AI use. In education, this is valuable to check whether students have improperly used AI for assessments and to check whether their work is their own.

Similarity detection is a technique to ensure academic integrity and maintain the value of education. It identifies and compares similarities between ideas and content compared to those already published.

In the context of universities, where reputation and the value of education are paramount, similarity detection plays a pivotal role in ensuring students cite their sources correctly and can prove they truly understand their topic.
