It can also be used for curricular mapping and programmatic assessment.

Learning Outcomes: After the session, participants will be able to:

  • describe the process of creating assessments using ExamSoft
  • Discuss administration of secure, electronic tests using Examplify (student portal for ExamSoft)
  • Describe reports that can be generated for students and faculty through ExamSoft, and how these can be used for a variety of purposes, such as remediation, curricular mapping, and faculty development
  • Identify challenges and “lessons learned” with ExamSoft
