The importance of an online exam platform

Online exam platform in the digital era

The advancement into the digital era has been inevitable for organizations to prosper in today's times. The covid-19 pandemic fast-tracked this, making schools advance their current syllabus to face the immediate threat of the pandemic and build a system for the future.

Online education is largely dependent on technology. As a result, many educational institutions have transitioned to online test-taking (both remotely and on-premise), replacing traditional pen-and-paper examinations.

The Digiexam testing platform

The most used assessment tool for the Swedish National Exams!

More than a third of Sweden's schools performed their national exams with Digiexam

We are proud to be the most used digital assessment tool for the Swedish National Exams! In a report from the Swedish National Agency for Education, a summary of the national exams performed digitally has shown that more than a third of the country's high schools and municipal adult education schools performed their national exams in Swedish and English with Digiexam. Also, among the Swedish schools that performed the national exams digitally with their 9th graders, around a fourth of the schools chose us.

The report also states that a large number of schools in Sweden nowadays use digital assessment tools in their ordinary teaching. This is excellent news, and it connects well with our idea to support teachers by simplifying the assessment process, saving valuable time. From a student's perspective, using a digital tool enables them to perform under the best conditions when it matters the most.

Why schools are switching to online examinations

Features of the Digiexam platform

Reduces carbon footprint

Online examinations have a positive impact on the environment. Pen and paper examinations not only require a lot of paper to print question and answer sheets, but it also requires the students and educators to be physically present, potentially resulting in an increased carbon footprint from the logistics of getting to and from the examination location.

Offers flexibility

Paper and pen exams have slowly but surely become obsolete because of the covid-19 pandemic and the progress of modern technology. The online exam is here to stay - even after the pandemic has ended - due to its many advantages over in-person, pen and paper, and physical examinations.

Saves time

Online exams save time for students by reducing the time it takes to write the exam and eliminating the time it takes to travel to and from the examination location. But also, the educators benefit significantly from the online setting and the features of the technology (such as automatic grading, reusing old test templates, etc.)

Saves money

Since everything is online, there are no associated printing or logistics costs. Educational institutions can also save money on examination facilities and fewer invigilators to monitor the exam. While an online exam will still require some expenses, such as administration and IT support, it's dramatically less than a pen-and-paper exam.

Scalability

For pen and paper examinations, the more people who will write the exam, the bigger the challenge to facilitate it. In comparison, an online examination system is easy to scale. Setting up an exam for 10 or 1,000 students takes almost the same time and effort.

Convenient

Last but not least, online exams are convenient for everyone. Educators can create and reuse old shared templates from their colleagues, use automatic grading, and co-grade with colleagues. Students can select exam times that suit them best, and since the exams are online, they can do it from pretty much anywhere as long as they have access to a computer and the internet. Students can also get their results almost instantaneously.

Secure

Security has always been challenging with exams, especially with more high-stakes exams such as bar exams, SATs, or college/university final exams. While an online examination system is not perfect, they solve a majority of the challenges with cheating. There are fewer risks of leaks since there are no physical papers, randomly selected questions from question banks can be utilized, and features such as device lockdown, ID verification, and credibility reports ensure high exam integrity.
