• Question and Paper Crafting: All work in Examena is encrypted, enabling educators to securely setup question papers and approvals as well as quickly register students for all course exams with ease.
• Intuitive Exam Experience: Students get an easy, straightforward experience. Moderators, proctors, or other exam administrators can keep watch with complete control. Examena’s anti-cheating technology enables those monitoring exams with live proctoring, using a screen-only or entire 360° workspace view.
• Grading & Result Publishing: Examena’s auto-marking makes grading easy with the ability to measure performance across overall exams, topics and competency levels. Based on results, educators can guide students towards areas of improvement with detail insights, and ease their exam anxiety with digital grade publication.

“This award reflects our commitment to inspiring institutions to find new ways of making learning limitless,” said Tom Lin, CEO, AvePoint EduTech. “We have worked with institutes of higher education in Singapore renowned for a strong focus on digitally driven learning experiences, to augment an e-Exam system that can support major semester exams for over 10,000 students across multiple papers in a hybrid mode. The ability to transition the in-person university experience to a digital experience has revolutionized the overall experience of the exam community and raised the calibre of the institutions.”

The mission of the EdTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of educational technology categories, including Student Engagement, School Administration, Adaptive Learning, STEM Education, e-Learning, Career Preparation and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 2,250 nominations from over 18 different countries throughout the world.

“While recent years have proven that valuable education can still take place outside of in-person environments, this shift has exposed significant weaknesses in virtual testing as cheating incidents are much higher than they were prior to the pandemic,” said James Johnson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. “Test-takers need the ability to test from their own personal devices - and from anywhere - while institutions need to provide a secure setting that’s equitable to all participants. Examena represent a ‘breakthrough’ to address these challenges, replacing traditional e-exams systems that cause frustrations over unfair testing environments in the online exam experiences of students. AvePoint EduTech’s Examena helps institutions competitively position themselves to thrive in a hybrid learning future. Congratulations on winning Test Prep Solution of the Year.”
