Authoring and item-banking
Develop high-quality assessments more efficiently with GradeMaker Pro, our unique authoring and item‑banking system for print and on-screen exams
Save time producing exams – paper and on‑screen
You can save months of production time and significant costs with our exam output tools. Our technology can automatically typeset paper exams, reducing unnecessary steps and security risks.
For on-screen exams, we offer a suite of assessment technology products that can be used together, as stand-alone modules, or integrated into your existing technology stack. We work with best-of-breed exam delivery systems, including Inspera Assessment and Surpass, to provide a modular or end-to-end solution that fully supports development and delivery of on-screen and dual-mode exams.
