Meet the secure online examination system

Enterprise_Security

Enterprise security measures

The Digiexam online examination system rests on its own proprietary, closed-source foundation. It runs as a dedicated app on Windows, macOS, iPad, and managed Chromebooks, giving students full offline access, automatic backups every ten seconds, and maintenance-free updates.

Secure exams

Lockdown mode turns the device into a sealed exam desk. Students can’t open browsers, apps, AI tools, or anything else that could give them an edge. Screenshots, external devices, and common workarounds are blocked, keeping the test fair and focused.

Empower teachers & students

Teachers can build new online exams or draw from their archive, while automatic marking handles most of the grading. The exams can be customized to cater to each student’s needs with features like text-to-speech, translations, and extended-time settings.

User friendly

Real-time analytics

Our online exam test software gives teachers live snapshots of student activity - who has started, who has submitted, and who hasn’t shown up to the exam. This instant view makes it easier to step in when someone needs help.

For online & in-room exams

The same setup works for online exams and in-room tests. Teachers launch and oversee exams from their devices, while students complete and submit everything digitally. It removes the stack of printed papers, keeps submissions in one place, and gives every exam a consistent format.

Global Access

Paperless examinations

Online exams stay stored in a single, secure space with no risk of lost papers. Shifting from printed tests to online examination also cuts down paper use across the school, supporting a cleaner, more sustainable workflow.

What our customers say

As the University continues to pursue a remote assessment strategy for all courses, confidence in the systems we use to support exam integrity is vital.

How does Digiexam work?

the-digiexam-platform-2x 1

Before the exam

In the Digiexam online exam system, educators can swiftly create new or select exams from an existing library shared between teachers. This involves setting exam type, time limits, and enabling features like computer lockdown or remote proctoring. Schedule the exam and pick the participants using either an Exam ID or by selecting the group that should participate in the examination.

During the exam

Once the exam has begun, administrators and teachers can monitor the student’s exam process directly in our online examination system, including student status and submission details. The Digiexam application provides a user-friendly interface for students to initiate and maneuver through exams, equipped with functionalities like an expanding text editor and the ability to ask questions for subsequent review. 

After the exam

Teachers can choose to grade per question or student, where you can provide additional comments and summarize your feedback if needed. Combining automatic grading, collaborative grading with other teachers, and a 100% digital workflow, the grading process becomes both quick and efficient. Additionally, anonymous grading is also available to help remove potential biases. After an exam has been graded, you can send the exam results and feedback directly to the students’ Digiexam accounts in just a few clicks.

Why use an online examination system?

The advantages that online exams for schools offers are numerous, benefiting students, teachers, and the school institution alike in various ways, including, but not limited to…

Consistent exam delivery

Every exam follows the same structure, no matter the subject or classroom. Digital templates, fixed layouts, and uniform instructions remove guesswork for both teachers and students. 

Faster exam turnaround

Movement bottlenecks disappear with online exams with no printing queues, no collecting stacks of papers, no sorting submissions. Everything arrives instantly in the same digital space. Teachers move from creation to grading to releasing results with far fewer handoffs.

Accessible from anywhere

Because exams run in a dedicated app, schools aren’t tied to a single room, building, or device. Students can take exams on-site or in a controlled remote environment, making scheduling easier and helps schools stay operational even when normal routines break.

Reduced long-term costs

Online examination cuts expenses tied to printing, distributing, storing, and archiving paper tests. Over time, schools save money on materials and reduce administrative overhead with a digital examination system, while lowering their environmental footprint.

Improved insight

Departments gain a real-time, high-level view of everything: scheduled exams, ongoing sessions, grading progress, and result releases. Clear audit trails support school policies and help meet compliance requirements without extra paperwork.

Stronger continuity 

Teachers can draw directly from digital class materials, reuse past questions, and push updates across multiple exams. This creates a tighter connection between what’s taught and what’s tested - and reduces the time spent reinventing the wheel.

Why has online education become so important?

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 exams (both remotely and on-premise), replacing traditional pen-and-paper examinations.

How do online school tests work?

Online school tests are typically conducted on a digital platform like Digiexam, either remotely from home or in school. In online school tests taken using Digiexam, students log in to a platform, answer questions within a specified time, and submit their test. Here, features like randomized questions and secure environments using online proctoring ensure fairness and integrity.

How do online schools detect cheating?

Traditional or online schools, through the Digiexam platform, can employ both lockdown technology to prevent the use of external tools, as well as online proctoring with webcam and screen monitoring with both in-person and automated proctoring using pattern recognition to detect academic dishonesty and/or cheating. 

What are the key components of an online examination system?

The key components of an online examination system typically include:

  • Exam creation: The system allows instructors or administrators to create exams and assessments using a variety of question types, such as multiple choice, true/false, and short answer questions.
  • Exam delivery: The system delivers the exam to students online through a secure login process. This allows students to take the exam from any location with an internet connection, rather than being restricted to a physical testing center.
  • Monitoring: The system typically includes features for monitoring students during the exam, such as automated proctoring or live proctoring. This helps to ensure the integrity of the exam and prevent cheating.
  • Grading and analysis: The system automatically grades the exam and provides immediate feedback to students. Instructors or administrators can also access detailed reports and analytics to assess student performance and identify areas where additional instruction may be needed.
