FROM EVERYDAY CHALLENGES TO PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
What you may be experiencing
- Scheduling, rooming, enrolments, accommodations and compliance checks create oversight challenges across roles and faculties.
- Limited, delayed or siloed visibility forces manual reconciliations and hides operational risk.
- Variable adoption where training and change management are inconsistent.
How WISEflow responds in practice
- Manager dashboard with deep insights across the lifecycle — status stages, participation, integrity signals and exception handling in one place.
- Endtoend orchestration reduces manual reconciliation and raises reliability across departments.
- Structured onboarding and rolespecific elearning to build sustainable capability and consistent practice.
FROM EVERYDAY CHALLENGES TO PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
What you may be experiencing
- Fragmented realtime oversight, identity checks, incidents and deadline changes spread across rooms, sheets and inboxes.
- Onsite paper handling (collecting, sorting, scanning, routing) creates manual bottlenecks and avoidable errors.
- Adhoc extra time and special requirements are hard to apply quickly and fairly for individuals and the cohort.
How WISEflow responds in practice
- A unified invigilation console with live participation view plus examspecific, auditable communication to keep control under pressure.
- Extra time in a few clicks: apply to a student, a group or the whole cohort; add incident time after interruptions without overwriting preallocated adjustments.
- AIassisted Paper Submission to eliminate manual sorting; simple perparticipant adjustments (incl. removing lockdown) with auditability and broadcast notifications.
FROM EVERYDAY CHALLENGES TO PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
What you may be experiencing
- Expectations vary and feedback can be inconsistent across modules and markers - alignment to learning outcomes isn’t always visible.
- Authoring authentic tasks (especially STEM) is timeintensive; handling drawings, calculations and lab notes is clunky.
- Designing coherent journeys across formative and summative moments and combining formats, adds complexity.
How WISEflow responds in practice
- Consistent feedback at scale: structured rubrics, inline and cohort feedback, audio comments and humanintheloop AI for clarity and comparability.
- Rich authoring with 50+ item types (incl. advanced maths/graphs); Matchscan and laptopcamera uploads place workings precisely or as structured appendices.
- Series and combinations (portfolios, staged assessments, conditional progression) aligned to programme design and QA.
FROM EVERYDAY CHALLENGES TO PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
What you may be experiencing
- Gaps in modality coverage (STEM workings, oral/practical tasks, media submissions, paper contingencies) constrain design.
- Combining formative and summative activities with transparent progression rules is harder than it should be.
- Disconnected systems (SIS, timetabling, LMS) cause duplicate data entry and delayed passback.
How WISEflow responds in practice
- Broad format coverage across formative and summative: essays, MCQ, short/long answer, STEM items, oral/practical, audio/video and structured paper submission.
- Series and combinations (conditional progression, portfolios, entrance bars) to create transparent, policysafe pathways.
- Open integrations to SIS, timetabling/planning and LMS/VLEs via APIs, webhooks and LTI/QTI - automated creation, enrolment, passback and governance.
FROM EVERYDAY CHALLENGES TO PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
What you may be experiencing
- Heavy marking workloads and variable feedback quality across large cohorts.
- Complex moderation and thirdmarking processes that risk disturbing existing comments and grades.
- Fragmented workflows for audio/video submissions, external examiners and offline contexts.
How WISEflow responds in practice
- A unified marking interface with moderation tools, bulk operations and precise itemlevel thirdmarking without disturbing existing work.
- Humanintheloop AI accelerates highquality, consistent feedback and grade justification while preserving academic judgement.
- Native support for audio/video submissions and audio feedback, plus externalexaminer SSO and offline marking in one coherent flow.
FROM EVERYDAY CHALLENGES TO PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
What you may be experiencing
- Rising GDPR obligations at scale; audits, access control and privacy safeguards feel brittle as cohorts grow.
- Integrity incidents or peak period outages threaten reputation and confidence in high stakes moments.
- Limited transparency and fear of data loss where backups, redundancy and disasterrecovery are unclear.
How WISEflow responds in practice
- Privacy by design with role/object permissions, encryption and full audit trails, under a clear public roadmap aligned to integrity, privacy and accessibility.
- Operational transparency via the Trust Centre and proven 99.90% uptime, delivered on a redundant three zone architecture and monitored 24/7.
- Resilience by default: continuous data redundancy, hourly incremental + daily full backups, regular restore tests and a realtime public status page.
SECURE CLOUD-BASED SOLUTION
WISEflow streamlines the entire assessment lifecycle and includes powerful feedback tools like multi-level annotations and rubrics to enhance learning and student satisfaction.
Manages the complete assessment and feedback lifecycle across a wide range of assessment types and formats.
Helps universities to streamline the assessment process, ensure consistency, improve feedback and raise student satisfaction.
Provides easy access for academic and administrative staff to create, deliver and assess multiple types and formats of exams and assessments.
"We needed a platform that we knew we could rely on, that would provide a stable and reliable service. The key thing is that students can get from the beginning to the end of their assessment securely without anything falling over, and that academic staff are able, then, to get their hands on the assessment and mark it and come up with a reliable answer as to how students have performed."
“The students love it: 92.2% of them said they found the system extremely easy to use. We were getting comments like ‘easy peasy lemon squeezy’. Overall, WISEflow has become, in a remarkably quick time, a key part of the assessment process.”
ASSESSMENT MADE STRUCTURED: WE CALL IT A FLOW
WISEflow has a range of flow types that supports different assessment formats that can be employed for both formative & summative assessments.
WISEflow is role-based. Different roles carry out different tasks at various points during the set up/running of a flow (assessment process).
MANAGER
The manager sets up the assessment for the participants.
AUTHOR
Authors write the assessment questions.
INVIGILATOR
Invigilators monitor the exam or assessment live.
ASSESSOR
Assessors grade the
participants’ work.
REVIEWER
Reviewers can read and monitor student submissions and assessors’ marking, as well as decide on the final assessment.
ADMINISTRATOR
Licence administrators manage the WISEflow licence for your institution; they can also appoint supporters.

FLOWS CAN BE CONFIGURED & COMBINED
Flows can be configured and combined to support the desired assessment type. The flow type determines what answers can be submitted and the security level. What’s more, several of the flow types are specially designed for supporting group assessments.
-
Open-book essay assessments
-
Portfolio assessments
-
Closed-book essay assessments
-
Structured MCQ assessments
