Take an in-depth look at how educators have used Cadmus to better deliver assessments.
One of the best parts of using Cadmus for your assessments is the visibility you gain into student learning throughout the assessment process. Today we're launching the new Insights page, which gives your access to learning analytics within the Cadmus Teacher Environment — whenever you want.
On the new Insights page, you'll find daily Progress reports showing how your class is working through an assessment. Keep track of student progress and quickly get an overview of how students are engaging with the assignment resources. You can use the engagement metrics to understand how the class is working and then take appropriate actions to support your students.
After your marking is wrapped up and feedback has been returned, Insights is where you'll find a Final Summary report for the assessment. It'll give you an overview of things like the average time spent on the task, how many students accessed feedback, and a rating of students' assessment experience.
You can use this information to help with evaluating the effectiveness of the task and getting a better idea of what worked, and what didn't. With a new source of feedback for your assessments and teaching, you can identify opportunities to improve the assignment further. Learn more about using learning analytics to inform your teaching.

Why “AI-proofing” assessments misses the point—and what to design for instead
This article challenges the idea of “AI-proofing” assessment, arguing that restriction and detection strategies fail to address the real issue: assessment designs that no longer produce reliable evidence of student capability. Nick Bareham explores how universities can instead design assessments that make thinking, judgment, communication, and applied understanding visible—the very capabilities employers are increasingly demanding in an AI-enabled world.

Why AI demands a redesign of assessment—not just a policy response
This article argues that AI has exposed a deeper structural weakness in higher education assessment: the reliance on outputs as proxies for genuine learning and capability. Brigitte Elliott explores why policy and detection tools alone cannot solve this challenge, and why institutions must redesign assessment to make student thinking, reasoning, and understanding visible.

The degree has always been a signal. AI is changing how we verify it.
This piece explores how AI has fundamentally disrupted the university degree as a trusted signal of capability, decoupling assessment outputs from genuine student understanding. Herk Kailis argues that institutions must move beyond AI detection tools, toward approaches that require students to demonstrate authentic understanding in real time.
