Case Study: Newcastle University achieves award-winning digital assessment at scale with Inspera

Newcastle University scales digital exams to 50% with Inspera

Newcastle University partnered with Inspera to scale its digital assessment program and transition from remote, take-home exams to a robust, secure, and accessible on-campus digital exam operation. The challenge was to build a program that could rival traditional paper-based testing, manage a significant volume of summative exams, and ensure the platform was accessible for all students without compromising academic integrity.

Using the Inspera platform, the university implemented a centrally managed system for secure, invigilated digital exams. The solution placed a strong emphasis on accessibility features and student support. As a result, digital exams now account for 50% of all summative assessments, making them comparable to written exams for the first time. This success was recognized when Newcastle University won the 2026 International e-Assessment Award for Best University Digital Assessment Program, validating Inspera's role in their award-winning journey.
