Parallels’ Post

Three years ago, I nervously walked through the halls of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) waiting on the outcome of our first large-scale exam conducted with over 300 students using their personal devices. I was sitting outside of the exam room asking students for their feedback. Following that we discussed further optimizations of our product with Gerard Folkerts (at that time product owner digital assessments at WUR), of wich many actually ended up in development. Before WUR started using our product, Gerard’s team conducted a thorough analysis on the feasibility of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and tested our product intensively on both security and functionality, but we neither had the practical experience with large-scale exams deliverd on BYOD. I really appreciate the WUR embracing the risk that comes with innovation. Especially examination is for many a very stressful moment, an environment where people prefer to avoid any change (sticking to paper based exams or managed computer labs). But when you take the risk and it succeeds you make a huge jump in being more flexible and scalable delivering your exams. Read the full customer story via the link below: https://lnkd.in/eHqZne57

"Seamless Continuity in Education: The Dual Strength of LMExams with DigiTaal and BYOD Solutions" LMExams has carved out a distinctive niche in the landscape of academic assessments with its on-premises solution, DigiTaal, meticulously crafted for high-stakes exams. Known for its robust architecture and seamless user interface, DigiTaal provides a secure, controlled environment that is paramount for conducting exams where integrity and accuracy are crucial. This flagship product ensures that academic institutions can administer their evaluations with the highest level of confidence and minimal disruption. The global pandemic, however, highlighted the critical need for adaptability in exam administration, prompting LMExams to deploy a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution. This strategic addition was not intended to replace the high-stakes environment provided by DigiTaal but to complement it as an essential part of the business continuity strategy. The BYOD option ensures that educational processes can persist uninterrupted during force majeure situations—such as pandemics or natural disasters—by enabling students to take exams from their own devices, be it a tablet, laptop, or mobile, and across any operating system. This innovative approach of BYOD for remote examinations emphasizes LMExams' dedication to educational resilience. While DigiTaal continues to be the preferred solution for regular, high-stakes exams, ensuring security and compliance, the BYOD policy acts as a crucial safety net, allowing institutions to adapt swiftly and effectively to unforeseen challenges without sacrificing the academic schedule. As probably the only organization anywhere to offer such a comprehensive solution, LMExams masterfully balances daily operational demands with emergency preparedness. The integration of DigiTaal with the BYOD strategy not only boosts the reliability of academic assessment systems but also strengthens them against potential disruptions, guaranteeing a continuous, seamless educational experience in various scenarios. Through this dual approach, LMExams reaffirms its role as a leader in educational technology, providing unmatched support to institutions striving to maintain continuity in their academic endeavors. #LMExams #DigiTaal #BYODSolutions #EducationalContinuity #AcademicResilience #HighStakesExams #RemoteLearning #EduTech #InnovationInEducation #BusinessContinuity
