Works with the LMS
you already run.
Tomax is an exam management platform that supports LTI 1.3 with all LTI Advantage services and connects natively to Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace, with SAML and OAuth 2.0 single sign-on and a RESTful API for everything else. Your LMS stays the system of record for courses and enrollment; Tomax handles authoring, secure delivery, integrity, and grading.
- Single sign-on (SAML, OAuth 2.0)
- Students launch the exam from the LMS (LTI 1.3)
- Grades written back to the gradebook
