Case Study: University of Oxford delivers scalable online assessments with Inspera

University of Oxford delivers 40,000 online exams with Inspera

The University of Oxford, one of the world's leading universities, faced a critical challenge when the Covid-19 pandemic prevented on-site examinations. Their emergency use of an existing virtual learning environment was not robust enough to deliver high volumes of concurrent online exams or provide a satisfactory student experience. The university needed a new, scalable, and reliable technological solution for both exams and coursework submissions, leading them to partner with vendor Inspera and its assessment platform.

Inspera provided the University of Oxford with a secure and flexible platform for online exams and coursework submissions. The solution enabled the successful delivery of 40,000 online examinations in 2021, providing a fair and consistent experience for students worldwide. The integration with the university's SITS system brought significant efficiency and standardization for staff. Inspera's platform was praised for its ease of use, with students able to submit coursework in an average of five minutes, and the project was described as putting the university 10 years ahead of schedule.
