Customer Story: Bar-Ilan University
Digital Transformation of Assessment with Tomax
About Bar-Ilan University
Founded in 1955, Bar-Ilan University is one of Israel's leading institutions of higher education, with around 20,000 students and 700 faculty, making it the second-largest university in the country. Seeking "impact beyond excellence," it has built challenge-driven research centers that embrace practical research designed to change and improve the human experience.
The Digital Transformation
In its pursuit of innovation, Bar-Ilan University set its sights on the digital horizon. The institution recognised the pressing need to transform its assessment processes, and ensure a future where assessments would be more efficient and consistent, enhancing student experiences and reducing workload for teaching staff.
However, the prospect of such a shift was daunting. With a sprawling student body and a substantial faculty, embracing digital assessment required overcoming deep-seated reservations about change. The university was well aware of the learning curve involved in not just adopting a new system, but also fundamentally altering its approach to assessment.
The project lead at Bar-Ilan University was acutely aware that engaging teaching staff and assessment stakeholders would be instrumental to the project's success.
How we supported Bar-Ilan
Streamlined feedback for students
TomaScan lets the university scan and upload handwritten feedback directly to the student portal, where students can view it and dispute grades online.
Faster grading and feedback
TomaGrade gives educators an efficient way to grade exams and return results and feedback quickly.
Secure exams from home
Following the COVID-19 outbreak, TomaEtest let Bar-Ilan students take exams securely from home while preserving exam integrity.
“Tomax has transformed the way we create assessments and evaluate our students. It's efficient, accurate, and has completely changed our assessment process.”
The Solution
At Tomax, we understand the challenges that accompany the transition to digital assessment. We recognise that replacing embedded processes within any institution can be intimidating, generating apprehension among both students and faculty members. We are committed to supporting our partners through the transition, from discovery and strategy development to programme delivery.
