Exam administration

Mezur, a complete system

Mezur covers the entire online assessment cycle: authoring and validating items, organizing them into structured banks, building questionnaires, administering examinations securely, scoring constructed responses through decentralized teams, and producing results. Proven in large-scale diagnostic and certification assessments, the platform moulds itself to each organization's own processes and delivers a fully multilingual experience, for both the interface and the content.

✎

Item authoring

From drafting to final approval, every item moves through your organization's own validation process — a process you define directly within the platform.

▦

Item bank management

Each item bank rests on a customized, secure classification structure, enriched with metadata that feeds your reports.

✓

Summative and certification assessment

Whether certifying a course of study or awarding a credential, varied and rigorously validated question formats support your high-stakes examinations.

✐

Online scoring

Constructed responses, including written work, are scored remotely by your teams under the real-time supervision of your coordinators.

▤

Results production

Tables, charts and dashboards are generated automatically and exported in multiple formats, broken down along your axes of analysis: region, institution, criterion.

◎

Large-scale surveys

Administer surveys to thousands of respondents simultaneously and consult strategic data as soon as it is entered, without the delays inherent in paper-based collection.

Exam proctoring

VigiAcces, the secure exam browser

For remote examinations, VigiAcces wraps the exam session in a secure shell: the workstation is locked down, identity is verified and every event is documented — following a simple principle: trust, not surveillance. Six core functions define our secure browser.

▣

Locked-down browser

For the duration of the exam, VigiAcces takes control of the workstation: mandatory full screen, unauthorized applications blocked, and any attempt to leave the exam environment detected.

◉

Identity verification

The candidate's registration is first validated, then their identity is confirmed with an ID document and a photo before the exam begins: the person taking the exam is indeed the person expected.

✓

Workstation qualification

Before the exam, candidates check their own camera, microphone and connection: most technical problems are resolved before exam day.

◔

Captures during the exam

Room scan, webcam, screen and audio are captured according to the proctoring profile chosen by your organization, then uploaded securely and hosted in Canada.

✆

In-session support

A two-channel chat connects the candidate to the proctor, and a help agent immediately answers technical questions, governed by strict per-session guardrails.

≡

Incident log

Every significant event — forbidden process, leaving full screen — is recorded with its context. VigiAcces detects and documents; judgment remains human.

Integration

Mezur and VigiAcces, one complete solution

The two products form a single solution: same exam sessions, same access codes, same per-organization management. Proctoring is not a module bolted on after the fact — it is a full layer of the architecture, and it can also connect to other exam platforms through a secure partner API. Here is how the layers of the solution fit together.
