The inaugural WISEflow Insights event – our new take on user groups that responds to the need for digital opportunities to share knowledge and experience in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic – took place last week, featuring talks from new and long-standing customers and national break-out sessions.

In response to the effect of the escalating Coronavirus situation, educational institutions are working hard to identify alternative approaches to traditional assessments. Find information, guidance and advice on moving assessment online in this blog post.

We work with many educational institutes and they vary greatly in size. This requires major flexibility in our system and great scalability to accommodate all needs.

WISEflow is an easy-to-use assessment platform with advanced capabilities. The focus of WISEflow is not just to manage and distribute content, but to successfully manage and support the entire process of online assessment for every stakeholder involved.

Digital functions should support – Not inconvenience. In maths, the majority of students still do their calculations on paper, so it makes sense to match this process in the exam situation.

The need for better accessibility, both physically and digitally, is rapidly becoming more and more apparent throughout the world. Organisations and businesses are increasing their focus on how they can improve their service, product or institution for people with different disabilities.

An endless amount of important and private data flying around aimlessly, hopelessly and completely unprotected. Does this sound like your thoughts on cloud-hosting and cloud-based exam software?

As an introduction to our new Rubrics module in WISEflow, our Executive Director Rasmus Blok made some videos explaining what the Rubrics module is and how it works (Part 1) and what the advantages of using Rubrics are (Part 2).

As a part of the latest update of the WISEflow platform, whitelisting of external online resources was enabled within the LockDown browser. This allows for new uses of WISEflow in several different kinds of exams, including computer science, maths and economics, while keeping the integrity of the secure protocols of the exam intact.

As providers of exam software with a client base that has a wide array of systems, the possibility of integration is an integral part of our service with WISEflow.

Exam periods can be stressful for not only students and assessors but all staff involved. It requires careful planning and the risk of failure is taken into account in all scenarios – e.g. network failure or a sudden loss of power.

To prevent cheating in exams is a crucial factor when we talk about exams. It has become especially important these recent years, as it has become common to use computers for written as well as oral exams.

When putting out a tender or deciding which provider to choose, the price is always a concern. And how do you calculate the price of digital exams? At UNIwise, we strive to be as transparent in our pricing model upfront as we possibly can.

Marking, commenting and grading is an essential part of any exam situation. Since exams and assessments take on many formats and require different forms of marking, great versatility in marking is paramount in a digital exam platform. The tools for marking in WISEflow reflect this importance.

Awareness of cheating in exams and especially of plagiarism is one of the key points in the assessment of exams in schools and universities around the world. So naturally, as providers of a digital exam and assessment software, we have pondered that exact question: how to prevent cheating and plagiarism in digital exams?

The exam and assessment writing software is developed with exactly a Bring Your Own Device scenario in mind. WISEflow is an HTML5-based application, meaning that it is accessible from almost any digital device with a browser installed. This enables all students with all devices and operating systems to use WISEflow.

For universities, colleges and other educational institutions, exams are just about the most high-stakes activities of them all. Ensuring that the students’ exams and their information are handled with a high measure of security is a vital task.
