Case Study: University of Maryland School of Medicine achieves real-time assessment insights, faster feedback, and cost savings with Questionmark

University of Maryland School of Medicine - Customer Case Study

The University of Maryland School of Medicine faced the challenge of administering high‑stakes, paper‑based exams and lengthy course evaluations that required administrative staff to retype handwritten comments from Scantron forms, causing delays and extra cost. To modernize testing and capture timely feedback, the school adopted Questionmark’s computerized testing and evaluation platform so students could take exams and complete evaluations on their laptops.

Questionmark’s solution allowed all second‑year exams and about 85% of first‑year exams to move online, giving instructors real‑time statistics to spot flawed questions (even while half the class was still testing) and providing feedback directly to learners. By eliminating manual transcription of evaluations, Questionmark delivered faster data turnaround, reduced administrative time and costs, and improved the school’s ability to refine courses and maintain teaching standards.
