Cadmus
Cadmus is a secure digital assessment platform that provides a research-backed, end-to-end solution for designing, delivering, marking, and assuring assessments in hybrid and online higher-education environments. It is an educational technology (EdTech) platform built to help universities protect academic integrity, improve student outcomes, and streamline assessment operations at scale. Designed for universities and educators, Cadmus supports the full assessment lifecycle—from assessment design and secure delivery through to marking, feedback, moderation, and learning assurance analytics. Cadmus is trusted by leading universities globally, including the University of Melbourne, the University of Manchester, University College London (UCL), the University of St Andrews, and more. Key capabilities include: - Secure digital assessments: Create and deliver online exams, long-form assignments, group assessments, and collaborative tasks within a secure environment. Integrations with LockDown Browser and native security controls help protect high-stakes exams and reduce opportunities for misconduct. - Integrity-by-design workflows: Pedagogical practices, activity monitoring, secure submission workflows, progression insights, and integrity signals embedded across the assessment lifecycle to reduce risk before, during, and after submission—not just detect breaches after the fact. - Assisted marking, moderation, and feedback: Advanced rubric-based marking, double marking workflows, grade management, and rich feedback tools that improve consistency, reduce academic workload, and support transparent moderation. - Learning assurance analytics: Course-level and institution-level insights into student progression, assessment quality, and integrity trends, supporting accreditation, quality assurance, and continuous improvement. - Scaffolded assessment design: Tools that support authentic, progressive, and skills-based assessment, embedding learning support and integrity into assessment design to improve student performance and learning outcomes. - Accessibility and inclusive assessment: Accessible assessment workflows, flexible submission formats, and compatibility with existing student accessibility settings support diverse learners and help institutions meet accessibility standards. - Flexible, scalable deployment: Works across courses, faculties, and programs, integrating with major learning management systems to support institution-wide digital assessment strategies. Cadmus supports a wide range of use cases, including formative and summative assessments, secure online exams, long-form written tasks, group work, skills-based evaluations, and oral assessments (Vivas; coming soon). Unlike traditional plagiarism detection or proctoring tools, Cadmus enables universities to design secure, authentic assessments that prevent misconduct upfront while strengthening learning quality and student outcomes. By combining research-backed pedagogy with secure assessment technology and analytics, Cadmus delivers a holistic platform that prioritises academic integrity, accessibility, student success, and operational efficiency.
