Take an in-depth look at how educators have used Cadmus to better deliver assessments.
Creating and managing assessments shouldn't be hard, and it definitely shouldn't be boring. We've spent the last few months working on the Cadmus Teacher Environment, and we're excited to share some brand new changes with you today. They're designed to make your assessment experience a little bit nicer and a whole lot simpler. And the best part? It's all here in time for your pre-semester setup. Let's take a look at what's new:
It's easier than ever to get started
We've updated the look and feel of the Teacher Environment, making things clearer and more accessible. With a smoother workflow and plenty of guidance along the way, you'll have your next assignment up and running in no time.
Templates in the app
You can now get started with a template as you write your instructions. With the click of a button, you'll have a template ready to go — no more copying and pasting! It couldn't be easier to create learning centred instructions from the get-go. Learn more about Cadmus Templates.
Individual student extensions
We understand the challenges of managing special circumstances for students, which is why we've made it possible for you to grant individual student extensions within Cadmus. Learn more about how extensions work.
Better class management tools
We've improved how you manage your class, with new features in the My Class page. Sync your LMS class list with Cadmus in seconds, quickly set up groups for marking, and easily edit assignment settings. And thanks to some valuable feedback from teachers, you can now download grades and submissions straight from Cadmus too.
New onboarding videos
You'll find brand new video guides in the Get Started section of our website. Our teacher series takes you through all there is to know about creating and managing assignments in Cadmus. It's the perfect place to start if you're using Cadmus for the first time (or if you need a refresher after the holidays). We've got a series for students as well, which is all you'll need when it's time to introduce your class to Cadmus.

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.
