Founder & CEO at Schoolyear - Safe Exam Workspace

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
