Schoolyear - Safe Exam Workspace

Safe Exam Workspace enables educational institutions to gradually and flexibly integrate a "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) approach alongside their existing managed computer infrastructure, creating a true "hybrid delivery" model. By adopting Safe Exam Workspace, institutions can address key future needs: Top-Level Cheating Prevention Without Screen Recordings: Safe Exam Workspace has made significant investments—and continues to invest—in delivering the highest level of lockdown security on any device. Students are blocked from accessing personal files, the internet, or other applications during their exam. Support for All Content Types: Unlike traditional secure browsers limited to websites and PDFs, Schoolyear allows teachers to configure a full range of restrictions across websites, documents, and desktop applications (e.g., Excel, SPSS, Matlab, R, Python). All students, regardless of device, access the same applications without installation, and files remain secure, never saved locally. Greater Flexibility, Increased Exam Capacity, and Cost Savings: BYOD helps reduce pressure during peak exam times, allowing institutions to move beyond large exam halls and rigid schedules. Safe Exam Workspace lets educators hold exams more frequently and in any lecture room, without scheduling conflicts or IT support, maximizing the use of available spaces and resources. By reducing the need for managed devices, institutions also avoid ongoing investments in additional hardware and IT staffing, leading to significant cost savings. With over five years of experience, Schoolyear is trusted by more than 100 institutions worldwide.
