Case Study

Shifting to smarter, more secure exams

“Using Cadmus Exams with locked-down browser functionality changed the use of generative AI from 100 students to 0 students for me this semester. It has tested the students’ knowledge in a fair and equitable way, and has reflected what the individual has studied, retained and learnt over the semester.”

Mixed-mode question types

Design the right exam for every outcome

Support a wide range of cognitive skills by combining multiple choice, short answer, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, extended responses and more—all within a single exam. Align question types with learning outcomes, creating challenging, fair exams.

Powerful Question Library

Build it once, reuse it forever

Draw from a powerful, searchable Question Library to reduce duplication, randomise questions, and tailor exams quickly. Save time while protecting against collusion.

Rich exam configuration settings

Tailor the experience to every learner

Easily customise exam settings to fit each student’s needs— from extra time to extra materials access—while real-time insights help identify when learners needs support, so no one is left behind.

The synergies between the approach of Cadmus and our priority work in assessment redesign and success for diverse student cohorts are obvious.

Locked Browser Capabilities

Keep students focused with secure exam settings

Create a distraction-free environment with a locked browser that includes whitelisted resources, while restricting students from navigating away or screenshotting work.

Custom access codes

Control who has access to every exam

Generate unique, customisable codes for each exam or cohort to limit access to authorised students only. Ensure the right students are sitting the right assessment at the right time.

Learning Assurance Analytics

Ensure every student is genuinely engaged

Analytics assess student effort across the exam—time on task, engagement depth, session patterns—to identify meaningful participation. Turn rich insights into student impact.

"Cadmus enables educators to effectively scaffold assessments for optimal student learning and to provide formative feedback that leads to better outcomes on final assessments. When students understand what is expected of them, when they are guided through the process, there is less reason for them to engage in inauthentic or dishonest assessment practices."

Associate Professor Kati Tonkin

Chair, Board of Studies (Society and Culture), University of Western Australia
