Platform Features
Everything you need for a modern assessment workflow.
RESTful API Endpoints
examina.io provides robust REST API endpoints for deep integration with your existing organizational workflow.
Fully Customizable
Designer makes it easy to build questions. Configure answer display, scores, and multiple papers within one exam.
Inherently Decentralized
Multiple users can collaborate simultaneously across apps. Teachers create questions while admins manage delivery.
Live Exam Proctoring
Monitor examinees' webcam, audio, and screen remotely to ensure assessment integrity in real-time.
Identity Verification
Organizations can enable face liveness and identity comparison for selected exams, with candidate consent and a non-biometric review option.
Customized Messaging
Create professional email invitations and result notifications with dynamic candidate-specific properties.
Hosted by us, or built into your own product
No engineering needed to run an exam. The option is there when you want to go further.
Nothing to build
Add your candidates, send an invitation, and they sit the exam on a page carrying your own logo and background. They sign in with a code you issue.
When you want to own the experience
The same exam, running inside your own page and driven by your own systems, so candidates never leave your site.
Building it in
Embed the exam in your own page
The exam runs in a frame on your site, inside your own navigation and branding. Candidates stay where they already are instead of being handed off to a site they do not recognise.
Drive it from the systems you already run
Create candidates one at a time or in bulk, build and publish exams, assign them, and open a session — all over a REST API. Each integration gets its own scoped key, revocable on its own without disturbing the others.
Get the result back where you need it
A webhook fires the moment a candidate finishes, or read results by assignment when it suits your batch. Already on Google Classroom? Connect it directly. LMS integrations are being prepared for institution testing; Brightspace / D2L is Coming soon and is not yet available in production.
