The University of Melbourne improves digital assessment quality and student experience
Professor Andrew Ooi
Associate Dean (Academic), Engineering
We see Cadmus as one of the leaders in digital assessment. The novel approach in which Cadmus supports students and encourages them to 'do the right thing' has transformed the way we think about assessment. This is a fantastic way to reduce the number of academic misconduct cases in online assessments.
