Online assessment transforms learning

Why do we ask test-takers to write their exams by hand, when it is an inescapable fact that modern life is digital? Online or digital assessment is all about learners applying their knowledge and skills to real-world situations. We call it authentic assessment, and it is both simple and revolutionising.

The digitisation of assessments leads to educational transformation for every test-taker and staff member involved.

 

Test-taker: Fair assessment for everyone

Exam day is the test-takers’ time to shine. When sitting a digital exam, they enter a paperless flow where assignments and papers are handled with a mere click at a button.

  • Edit, navigate, and demonstrate your skills in a user-friendly interface
  • Feel confident using your own computer or device
  • Work is automatically backed up, and you won’t be evaluated on your handwriting
  • In on-screen marking the quality checks are less subject to bias
  • Test-takers with disabilities will benefit from a range of built-in accessibility functions

 

Markers: Testing made smarter

Digital exams are much more than just putting existing tests online. Markers can personalise and differentiate learning and exam content for their test-takers.

  • Create interactive exams, e.g. by embedding video, audio and/or drawing
  • Auto-marking frees up time for you to focus on manual marking and feedback
  • Originality check detects cheating and protects the integrity of your assessments
  • Collaboration is made easy in marking teams
  • Create and grade exams online wherever and whenever it suits you

 

Administrator: With the click of a button

  • Configure and use templates to simplify the exam setup
  • Distribute complete tests easily across your entire organisation
  • Make the exam process both quicker and more secure
  • The exam integrity is always protected with originality check and online proctoring
  • The risk of losing a paper is practically reduced to nothing
