When we summarize the academic year of 2017/2018 it is with a lot of pride and we would like to begin by acknowledging all our teachers and students for giving us great product feedback and the drive to pursue an even better platform for digital examinations and academic tests.

Here are some of our favorite moments!

Cross-client platform

A cross-client platform was released in October with the purpose to make the DigiExam application used by students, to look, feel and perform the same regardless of the student’s device. Moreover, to facilitate for teachers and invigilators in a mixed device environment.

The 1 2 million mark

In early October we reached a milestone of 1 000 000 handed in exams, which is a lot of papers saved! Now, just 8 months later, we are counting down to doubling that number.

Add media functionality

The Add media functionality has  changed the way teachers use DigiExam in many ways; what initially was used exclusively for high stakes exams now allow a much more variated usage by allowing Youtube videos, Webb sites, Audio files and PDF documents in an exam or assignment.

Text to speech functionality

The text to speech functionality allows students with special accommodations to perform even better in an exam given that they can listen to all the written text in the exam. Also, like the spellcheck functionality giving the teacher the option to allow it for all students in a certain assignment. 

We will continue presenting product news and user cases on our blog, presenting innovative teachers across all fields of education and how they use DigiExam in their field of expertise. 

We wish all our users a great summer and later on a warm welcome back to a new academic year in the greatest business there is, Education!

The DigiExam Team

Den blomstertid nu kommer – en återblick på läsåret 17/18

DigiExam fortsätter växa i snabb takt och vi vill passa på att tacka alla användare för den feedback vi får och den vilja den ger oss att skapa en ännu bättre plattform för genomförande av prov och uppgifter på ett säkert sätt.

Serendipity Challenge – Politicians Week in Almedalen

DigiExam continues to thrive quickly, not only with new user but extended missions. Next up, we are attending a political week in Sweden due to a nomination for fast growing companies with an anticipation of a successful future.

NEW FEATURE – Text to Speech

Text to Speech is now available in DigiExam, it enables the student to have instructions, questions, texts in links and their answers read out loud.

Talsyntes i DigiExam

Nu finns talsyntes tillgänglig i DigiExam, i ett prov eller en uppgift kan instruktionen eller frågan som visas för eleven läsas upp. Eleven kan markera sin egen text och få sitt skrivna svar uppläst, all text i exempelvis länkar eller PDF-dokument kan också läsas upp.

The new EU General Data Protection Regulation will have an impact on you as a DigiExam user, but you can continue using DigiExam as usual.  It will affect all countries within the EU and will be an addition to previous regulations such as Privacy Shield & FERPA.

Den nya dataskyddsförordningen påverkar dig som användare av DigiExam, men du kan använda det precis som vanligt. Förordningen kommer att gälla direkt i alla EU:s medlemsländer och ersätter den svenska personuppgiftslagen (PUL).

Lägg till Media är vår senast tillagda funktion – den tillåter dig att lägga till Webbsidor, Ljudklipp, PDF och Youtubeklipp när du skapar ditt innehåll i DigiExam.

Add Media is our newest feature – it allows you to add Web pages, Audio, PDF and Youtube clips when creating your assignments in DigiExam.
