Unified Online Assessments with OBE and CoE: Scalable, Sustainable, Seamless
Camu has played a key role in the digital transformation of over 400 esteemed institutions worldwide, transforming the lives of approximately 1 million students and 50,000 teaching staff across an impressive 1,200 programmes.
If these statistics have piqued your curiosity, let’s kickstart this blog with just one more; 2 million+ assessments have been delivered on Camu’s watch!
If not for our smart and secure EdTech platform (and the necessary decision to switch to digital), institutions would have had to navigate several assessment challenges including overburdened resources, information, and communication errors.
Empowering the Examination Process
Camu offers an Online Assessments Solution unified with the Controller of Examination (CoE) and Outcome-Based Education (OBE)
By streamlining online assessments onto one Cloud-based platform, Camu helps institutions achieve higher operational efficiency:
- When online assessments are graded the Outcome Attainment is automatically computed. No uploading and downloading.
- The online assessments can be used for internal exams and/or final exams and the scores are scaled and automatically posted to the CoE. No uploading and downloading.
- Randomises questions, whilst retaining the balance of COs
- Protects and maintains the exam integrity
- Proctoring for high stake exams, ensuring exam integrity to the highest order
- Overcomes bandwidth problems and disruptions in connectivity
Streamlining Stakeholder Benefits
Camu follows a user-centric design approach by offering a simplified version of paper-based processes, with clear accountability and traceability for all academic stakeholders. Its expert online assessment system is built on the tenets of reliability and trustworthiness.
Institutional advantages are as follows:
- Lower Administrative Burden – Printing and distributing question papers, invigilating for thousands of students, shipping completed answer sheets to markers, is a time-consuming and costly process. Digitization saves up time, energy, and overheads.
- Higher Security – With paper-based exams, it’s hard to control the access, storage, and management of data. With a virtual system, conversely, all data is stored digitally. As such, only people who are meant to access exam information will be granted the appropriate system access.
- Worldwide Reach – An online assessment system means that there are no geographical or logistical challenges. Institutions can administer exams to candidates located across the globe, as they are not restricted to offering exams in physical test centers only.
- Speed and Scalability – When a digital platform is hosted on the most secure cloud, with elastic load balancing and auto-scaling architecture, the result is, sub-second response times to users!
- Cost-Effectiveness – An integrated Student Information System (SIS) and Learning Management System (LMS) ensures all relevant data can be accessed anytime, anywhere. This ensures minimal human effort, with maximum cost savings.
Candidate advantages are as follows:
- Ease of Use – Simple to work with, easy to navigate, the assessment portal takes all the stress away from the impending examination by fostering a stable environment.
- Flexibility – The platform structures online exams with diverse options like MCQs, descriptive responses, as well as the provision to upload equations, diagrams, and images.
- Low Bandwidth – High speed internet is not a mandate for the smooth functioning of the online assessment system. The software can run on medium bandwidth, ensuring student accessibility irrespective of network connection.
A superior online assessment system that takes care of institutional needs by combining the ability to develop online tests, with the option of providing online supervision, online correction, online analytics, and online reporting – Camu technology is indeed the way forward!
