Cadmus

Cadmus began its journey in 2015, born from a research partnership with The University of Melbourne. Initially, the focus was sharply on addressing academic integrity and the pervasive issue of contract cheating in higher education. As the educational landscape evolved, particularly with the challenges and opportunities presented by technology and the pandemic, Cadmus recognized a broader need. The company pivoted, expanding its vision to support holistic assessment. This meant creating a platform that not only upheld academic honesty but also enriched the learning experience for students and streamlined the assessment process for educators and institutions.

This strategic shift proved timely. Cadmus developed an online assessment platform designed to improve teaching and learning by fostering better assessment experiences. The platform empowers educators to create engaging and authentic assessments, while providing students with the necessary support and resources to succeed. It offers tools for assessment design, delivery, completion, submission, and feedback, all within a single, integrated environment. Key features include customizable templates, learning analytics, and non-invasive security functionalities to ensure academic integrity without compromising the student experience. The company's commitment to a supportive and educative approach to academic integrity, rather than a purely punitive one, has resonated with universities. Cadmus has steadily grown, now serving numerous universities globally and impacting hundreds of thousands of students. Their partnership model allows them to work closely with institutions to tackle significant challenges such as student retention, remote learning, and the integrity of online exams, especially in the age of generative AI. With a clear mission to provide access to high-quality education, Cadmus continues to innovate and expand its reach in the EdTech sector.
