Assessment in the Age of AI

AI changed the exam.
Assessment does not have to move backward.

As some institutions return to proctors, paper, and blue books to protect academic integrity, ExamSpace offers a controlled digital path forward. Faculty decide which applications, files, websites, network services, and AI tools students can access, helping preserve trust without sacrificing meaningful, real-world assessment.

133 YEARS

In 2026, Princeton ended its 133-year tradition of unproctored exams amid concerns about cheating and generative AI.

Faculty-Defined Control

Open what students need.
Close what they do not.

ExamSpace lets faculty create the complete environment an assessment requires, then apply clear policies across that entire workspace. Approved applications, files, datasets, websites, network access, and AI tools are available when needed. Everything outside the exam policy stays unavailable.

Define the Environment

Provide the applications, working files, datasets, reference materials, websites, network services, and approved AI capabilities required for the assessment.

Apply Granular Policies

Control clipboard use, file transfers, printing, screen sharing, storage visibility, peripherals, connectivity, and other workspace capabilities.

Reuse Complete Configurations

Save applications, resources, and policies together as reusable templates for future courses, sections, and testing periods.

Review Session Activity

Give authorized faculty and institutional teams access to timestamped policy events, blocked actions, and relevant session activity.

Lock the workspace. Not just the tab.

How ExamSpace Works

Configure. Launch. Review.

ExamSpace brings exam setup, student access, and session review into one managed workflow.

1

Configure the Workspace

Faculty select the applications, resources, and policies required for the assessment, then save the complete setup as a reusable template.

2

Launch the Exam

Students launch the assigned workspace through the LMS or browser with the tools, resources, and permissions defined for the assessment.

3

Review Session Activity

Faculty and authorized staff review relevant session activity, timestamped policy events, and blocked actions in one place.
