Onscreen Assessment
Technology is advancing, learning is evolving, and so is assessment.
That’s why we’re harnessing the power of onscreen assessment to support teachers and students in more than 115 countries.
We believe in creating assessments that encourage progress, enable access and inclusion, and enrich learning. As we explore the opportunities that lie ahead, making the right choices is key.
Together with the education community, we’re focused on choosing where and how we best use technology to positively impact assessments and the lives of learners.
Onscreen assessment in action
Driven by evidence and our work with the education community, onscreen assessment is already influencing exam delivery and experience in the UK and around the globe.

What we're exploring...
Every student, subject and assessment is unique. That’s why continuing our work with schools, employers and policymakers across countries and curricula is crucial to unlocking the opportunities of onscreen assessment.
Together, we will shape assessments that are accessible, inclusive and equip students for the future.
How can we shape accessible assessments?
We partnered with Assessment MicroAnalytics™ to explore how onscreen assessment might benefit students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
What does the future of assessment look like?
We asked students, teachers, parents, employers and parliamentarians for their thoughts.
