Janison enables University of London students to sit exams at home
SYDNEY, June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Janison Education Group(https://www.janison.com/)(JAN:ASX) has been selected to 
deliver 37,000 examinations online in July for students of the University of 
London studying through distance and flexible learning in 100 countries.   

The edtech solution will allow the University to complete its critical 
assessment needs amid lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 crisis. It is the first 
time that some of its study programmes will deliver exams digitally, and the 
first time the University will make use of remote proctoring technology.

Janison, the University of London and its CoSector arm specialising in digital 
solutions for higher education have all worked to a very tight deadline to make 
these examinations possible for its students, whilst meeting professional 
requirements. 

Craig O'Callaghan, Director of Operations and Deputy Chief Executive, 
University of London Worldwide, said: "This has been an incredibly fast-moving 
project to ensure that all our students studying through distance and flexible 
learning across the world are provided with continuity and certainty for their 
examinations. The reputation of the University of London is based on the rigour 
of its examinations and we are confident that our online timed examinations 
will stand up to the rigour."

Examinations will be delivered remotely to students' homes via digital exam 
platform, Janison Insights and remote proctoring solution, Janison Remote. Each 
session will be recorded via webcam and uploaded for review for integrity 
against the University's strict guidelines, then quality assured by the 
University to ensure secure and equitable delivery.

David Caspari, Janison's Chief Executive Officer, said: "Education continuity 
is the foundation of the education sector's business model. By allowing 
students to continue their assessments on schedule, this project directly 
addresses the standstill that the higher education sector has suffered as a 
result of COVID-19 lockdowns."
