Why Online Testing Is the New Standard, Not Just an Alternative

The world of education and corporate training is rapidly evolving. Paper-based tests, physical exam rooms, and manual grading are costly, slow, and inconvenient. Online testing has become the new standard — faster to launch, with transparent results and less routine work for teachers, HR specialists, and trainers.

Why It’s Time to Move Online

Moving exams and tests online is no longer just a matter of convenience — it’s a strategic decision that impacts efficiency and scalability:

• Cost savings: no printing, no room booking, no mailing of test sheets, no manual grading.
• Time efficiency: create tests in minutes and see results instantly.
• Scalability: easily test hundreds or thousands of participants at once, no matter where they are.
• Flexibility: update questions, switch languages, or adjust difficulty levels without reprinting anything.
• Modernization: fits naturally into hybrid work, remote education, and global teams.
• Professional image: digital processes show students and employees that your organization embraces innovation.
• Fairness & control: online testing enables anti-cheating tools that are hard to implement offline.
• Accessibility: participants can use any device, including corporate laptops or school computers.

How Askium Makes the Transition Easy

• AI question generation: set a topic and difficulty level — Askium will generate correct, relevant questions. Open-ended questions can be used in surveys, while exams use automatically graded ones.
• Balanced difficulty & scoring: define how many questions of each difficulty level and how many points they award.
• Personalized tickets: each participant gets a unique link — no generic access that could be shared.
• Detailed analytics: see percentages, points, and answer breakdowns per participant and per question.
• Anti-cheating tools: track tab switching, closing the page, and enforce fullscreen mode. You can set a limit of violations after which the attempt is automatically terminated.
• Timers and single attempts: when a timer is enabled, pausing is not possible; each ticket is single-use (a new one can be issued if needed).

Testing on Corporate Devices and in Classrooms

Askium runs directly in the browser — no additional software is required, which is crucial for corporate environments and school labs where users don’t have admin rights.

IP or VPN access control allows you to restrict exam access to a specific network or even a specific classroom — for example, a computer lab with a given IP range.

This is particularly useful when you need to strictly control test conditions:

• Schools and universities: students can only take the exam while on campus or in a designated classroom, preventing remote attempts.
• Corporate training: employees complete assessments only from workstations, ensuring compliance with internal rules.
• Closed exams and competitions: only those physically present at the right place and time gain access.

This setup increases control, reduces the risk of cheating, and enforces discipline during exams.

Who Benefits the Most

• HR departments: pre-hiring screening, onboarding tests, and recurring knowledge checks.
• Schools and universities: exams, quizzes, and even olympiads without paper handling.
• Corporate learning teams: compliance training, certification programs, and skill assessments.

Step-by-Step Transition

1. Pick one process to digitize first (e.g. onboarding test for interns).
2. Create an exam form in Askium and generate questions with AI.
3. Issue personal tickets and set up rules (timer, IP restriction, language).
4. Collect feedback, refine, and scale to the entire organization.
