Case Study: Newcastle University achieves secure, scalable digital assessment with Inspera

Newcastle University expands digital exams 55% year-on-year with Inspera

Newcastle University faced challenges with its existing digital exam system, which relied on its VLE and had limitations in security, flexibility, and scalability. The university sought a more robust solution to expand its digital assessment capacity and offer more innovative and authentic exam formats. To address this, they selected Inspera Assessment after a rigorous tender process.

By implementing Inspera, the university gained a secure and flexible digital assessment platform that supports features like video and audio-based exams, foreign language inputs, and the use of real-world software tools. The results were significant, with year-on-year growth averaging 55%, leading to over 30,000 student exam sittings. Inspera also enabled high satisfaction rates from both staff and students, won an international award for summative assessment, and facilitated the creation of a national user group for sharing best practices.
