For Higher Education

One system for every department,
every campus, every exam period.

Universities and colleges run large-scale assessment across dozens of departments and thousands of students at once, usually on whatever tool each faculty picked on its own. Tomax gives every department the same secure delivery, integrity, and grading engine, without forcing one workflow on all of them.

Higher education assessment

The Scale Problem

What breaks first as an institution grows

Every department runs its own tools

Engineering scans paper, Business runs online quizzes, Law needs closed-book exams, each on a different system the registrar can't see across.

IT can't standardize what it can't see

Without one platform, there's no single place to enforce SSO, data residency, or retention policy across faculties.

Integrity policy is enforced inconsistently

One faculty locks down browsers, another trusts an honor code, until a cross-listed course or transfer student falls between the two.

Built For Higher Education

Built for the way a university actually runs

Works with the LMS you already have

Native integrations with Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace, plus SSO via SAML and OAuth 2.0: no separate login for students or faculty.

Shared question banks, department by department

TomaBank lets a lecturer keep a private bank while the department curates a shared, versioned one, reused across sittings without rewriting items.

Formative and high-stakes in one system

The same platform runs a weekly quiz and a final exam, so IT supports one tool instead of a formative app plus a separate secure-exam vendor.

Academic integrity across coursework and exams

Smart Defense and proctoring apply to take-home assignments as well as invigilated exams, closing the gap AI opened in essays and problem sets.

One record for registrars and provosts

A single audit trail per student, portable across departments, so appeals and accreditation reviews don't require reconstructing five systems' logs.

Regional data residency and compliance

GDPR compliant with configurable data residency, so international campuses and exchange programs meet local requirements without a separate deployment.

How Institutions Adopt It

One department at a time, not a big-bang rollout

1

Start with one department

Most universities pilot with the department carrying the most administrative pain, usually the one running the largest or most complex exam period.

2

Add the shared engines

TomaBank and TomaSafe extend to other departments on their own timeline, without requiring them to change how they deliver exams yet.

3

Standardize institution-wide

Once departments are on the same record, IT and the registrar's office set one integrity, retention, and reporting policy across the whole campus.

“Tomax freed us from the worldwide paper-exam headache. Now integrity is guaranteed and logistics take seconds, not months.”

Common questions

Yes. Departments can run different question types, grading rubrics, and integrity settings on the same platform; Tomax doesn't force one workflow, it gives every department a shared record underneath their own process.
