Case Study: Umeå University Law Department simplifies grading and digital exams with Digiexam

Umeå University Law Department streamlines 6-hour exams with Digiexam

The Law Department at Umeå University faced a challenge with its traditional six-hour pen-and-paper exams. With over 100 students per exam, the handwritten answers were often difficult to decipher, making the grading process extremely time-consuming for its lecturers. To address this, the department turned to the vendor Digiexam to implement a digital exam solution.

By using Digiexam, the university transformed its examination process. Students now type their answers, which eliminates issues with illegible handwriting and allows them to easily edit their work. For the faculty, the solution from Digiexam made grading significantly easier and faster. While specific metrics were not provided, the department reported a substantial reduction in the time required for grading and has since adopted Digiexam for every written exam in its law program.
