Modernizing a Digital Assessment Platform

CHALLENGE

A Norwegian EdTech provider was facing a frustrating problem – having already launched a new e-assessment tool, they were expecting to see improvements that would help make teachers’ jobs a bit easier. However, something was still missing. Grading student papers took too long, as the system struggled to detect content repurposed from generative AI, and teachers lacked meaningful insights into student progress.

Despite already having a strong user base, the platform needed an urgent modernization of school assessment software to keep up with real classroom expectations. Educators were drowning in manual work, and students weren’t receiving timely or consistent feedback. The company understood this could limit long-term growth, so the decision was made to pursue a strategic EdTech platform modernization.

ENGAGEMENT STAGE

CHI Software came on board the project after the initial version had already gone live. This meant that we needed to synchronize with an actively working product to help it evolve without interrupting daily academic processes.

The mission was to execute a smooth, risk-free assessment system modernization that enhanced scoring accuracy, supported educators, and laid the groundwork for personalized learning.

TRANSFORMATION

Over the next 11 months, CHI Software led the charge to implement an intelligent assessment platform upgrade. We rebuilt the data architecture for stability, introduced AI-driven grading, developed smarter tools for paraphrasing analysis, and redesigned the assessment workflow to support adaptive learning.

WORKFLOW GAPS

Teachers were spending hours reviewing open-ended answers – time they would much rather use for lesson planning. A student assessment software upgrade was essential to reduce manual workload while still ensuring that every student received a timely, fair evaluation.

REWRITING DETECTION

Students no longer simply copy and paste answers; they rewrite, paraphrase, and use AI tools – but this is still considered plagiarism. Stronger mechanisms were needed to detect disguised similarities in the intelligent assessment platform upgrade, ensuring trust in automated grading

DATA INTERPRETATION PITFALLS

Schools may collect vast amounts of information, but still struggle to interpret it. Clear dashboards and early alerts into signs of students who are at risk became crucial to maximize insights from the modernization of school assessment software.

PERSONALIZATION CHALLENGES

Every student learns differently. Traditional tests don’t usually adapt to individual strengths or weaknesses. The goal was to create adaptive, cloud-based evaluation flows that can be adjusted for difficulty in real time, transforming a simple digital testing platform into a dynamic learning journey.

INTERFACE COMPLEXITY

A redesigned interface was necessary to help teachers navigate tests, review answers, and track progress seamlessly across devices.

FRAGMENTED SYSTEMS

Schools often use multiple systems that do not communicate smoothly with one another. Integration was critical to reduce manual work and ensure reliable synchronization across the broader educational ecosystem.

STRATEGY

Rather than adding complexity, we aimed to simplify assessment in actual classrooms, quietly upgrading the digital assessment platform while keeping the day-to-day flow seamless.

DEVELOPMENT PHASES

+70% FASTER GRADING

Automated AI grading reduced teacher workload, enabling the student assessment software upgrade that saves time while maintaining scoring accuracy.

+30% MORE ACCURATE PLAGIARISM DETECTION

Advanced algorithms identify copied and reworded content, strengthening the intelligent assessment platform upgrade and improving trust in plagiarism detection results.

+45% EARLIER IDENTIFICATION OF AT-RISK STUDENTS

Performance dashboards and analytics highlight learning gaps sooner, supporting assessment system modernization and allowing timely interventions.

+50% GROWTH IN STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

Adaptive virtual assessments adjust difficulty in real time, helping automate the school’s assessment software and enhancing participation.

ZERO DOWNTIME DURING LMS INTEGRATION

Smooth migration and integration with existing Learning Management Systems ensure uninterrupted workflows and a reliable online assessment upgrade.

FULLY SCALABLE CLOUD ARCHITECTURE

Cloud infrastructure re-engineering supports growing user numbers and heavy workloads, completing the modernization of digital learning solutions.

Modern education demands smarter, faster, and more adaptive digital solutions. CHI Software helps schools and online learning platforms transform student assessment software and modernize digital assessment platforms for seamless grading and feedback.
