See the screen. Replay every edit. Decide on evidence.
EduMark Invigilation records the learner’s entire screen and camera, keeps an edit-by-edit writing history of every answer, and gives your reviewers a full replay of the attempt, inside the platform you already assess in.
Nothing to install. No audio, no key logging, no face scanning. Clear evidence for your team, and a person behind every decision.

A paste within a minute of leaving the assessment is called out.
0keys logged
Physical keyboard input is never recorded. Only the answer is.
What gets captured
Three streams of evidence. One timeline.
Screen, camera and writing are captured together and lined up second by second, so a reviewer never has to piece an attempt back together from separate systems.
Entire-screen recording
Learners share their whole screen, not a single tab or window, so everything else that's open is on the record from the first question to submission.
Camera recording
A camera feed runs alongside the screen. EduMark checks for a blank or frozen picture on the learner's device before and during the attempt.
Writing history
Every change to every answer, in order: what went in, what came out, what was replaced, and whether it was pasted, dropped or dictated.
Screen and camera recording
The whole screen. The whole attempt.
Learners share their entire screen and camera through the browser’s own prompts. There is no plug-in or lockdown software to install, and nothing starts until the whole screen is on the record.
Choose what to share
Entire screenRequired
WindowRefused
Browser tabRefused
EduMark only starts the attempt when the whole screen is shared.
Entire screen, or nothing
Sharing a single window or browser tab is refused, and learners are asked to choose Entire screen before the attempt can start.
Built for real-world connections
Recording is captured in short segments, held on the learner's device and uploaded in the background, so a brief drop in connection doesn't cost footage.
The clock stops when capture stops
If screen sharing or the camera ends, the assessment pauses until it is restored. Up to five minutes of paused time is protected, so a glitch never costs working time.
Repeated interruptions are flagged
Every gap is marked on the timeline, and after three interruptions the attempt is flagged for review.
Silent by design
No microphone and no system audio, ever. Recordings are picture only.
Camera checks stay on the device
Blank and frozen-picture checks run in the browser. The check images are never uploaded.
Writing history
Not a keylogger. Something far more useful.
A key log tells you which buttons were pressed. Writing history tells you how the answer was actually built: every insertion, deletion and replacement, every paste and where it came from, and every moment the learner stepped away.
Writing history Illustrative example

Deleted“In conclusion,”
PastedTraced transfer within this assessment
AwayLeft the assessment view · 38s
PastedObserved paste; source unknown
Paste note“Quoting a source”
Every edit, in order
Insertions, deletions and replacements, each tagged when it came from a paste, drag and drop, dictation, an input method or undo.
Pastes traced to their source
Text copied inside the assessment is traced back to where it came from. Anything else is marked as an observed paste from an unknown source.
Learners can explain a paste
An optional paste note, such as "From my own notes" or "Quoting a source", sits beside the paste with its own version history.
Leaving the assessment is on the record
Switching to another tab or window is logged, and a paste within 60 seconds of coming back is called out for the reviewer.
The whole session, not just the text
Copy events, question navigation, connection status and rest breaks are captured alongside the answer.
Physical keyboard input is never recorded
Learners are told this up front. Writing history records what happened to the answer, not which keys were pressed.
Work replay
Watch the answer being written.
Open full work replay and the attempt plays back like a video, with every stream on its own lane and the recording following the playhead.

Play it back like a video
Play, pause and scrub through the attempt at 1×, 2×, 4× or 8×, and zoom into any stretch of the timeline.
Before and after, for every change
Step to any edit and see the answer exactly as it was before and after it.
Screen and camera in sync
The recording follows the playhead, so the writing and the screen tell the same story at the same moment.
Signals that point, not accuse
Pastes, time away, a paste soon after time away, interruptions and rest breaks are highlighted. People make every decision.
From evidence to outcome
Evidence, never verdicts. People decide.

Signed evidence package
The full record in a package with a signed manifest, so anyone can confirm nothing has changed. Recordings can be included where permitted.
Redaction built in
Export for anonymous review or for an authorised staff view.
Named, expiring links
Downloads go to a named person and expire after 1 to 72 hours.
Safeguards
Strict on evidence. Fair to learners.
Recordings are some of the most sensitive data a centre holds. EduMark locks them down by default and tells learners exactly what is recorded before they begin.
Recordings locked by default
Watching a recording is its own permission, which no role has by default. Outside organisation admins, staff also need a grant for that attempt that expires within seven days.
Every view audited
Opening a replay, watching a recording and downloading an export are all written to the audit trail.
Anonymous marking stays anonymous
Revealing a learner's identity from an anonymously marked attempt needs its own approval.
Retention you choose
Recordings are kept for 30 days by default and writing history for a year, and learners see the exact number of days before they start.
What learners get
A guided setup with a live preview, before the timer starts
Setup uses no attempt or assessment time

Questions about EduMark Invigilation
Does EduMark record keystrokes?
No. Physical keyboard input is never recorded, and learners are told so before they start. Writing history records what happened to the answer itself: each insertion, deletion and replacement, and whether text was pasted, dropped or dictated. That is what reviewers need to see how an answer was built, without capturing anything typed outside it.
Why does EduMark require the entire screen?
A single window or tab only shows the assessment, which is the one place a learner is expected to be. Sharing the entire screen puts everything else that is open on the record, so EduMark refuses window and tab sharing and asks the learner to choose Entire screen.
What happens if the recording drops during the assessment?
The assessment pauses until screen sharing or the camera is restored, and up to five minutes of paused time is protected so the learner does not lose working time. Every gap is marked on the timeline, and after three interruptions the attempt is flagged for review.
Who can watch the recordings?
Only people your centre chooses. Watching recordings is a separate permission that no role has by default. Outside organisation admins, staff also need a grant for that attempt, which expires within seven days, and every view is audited.
Does it lock the browser or block copy and paste?
No. There is no lockdown software to install and copy and paste still work. Instead, every paste is recorded, traced to its source where it came from inside the assessment, and shown to the reviewer, along with any time spent away from the assessment.
Does it record audio, check ID or analyse faces?
No. EduMark records the screen and camera picture only, with no microphone or system audio, and it does not run identity checks, face analysis or gaze tracking. Reviewers see the evidence and make the decision.
Does it cover work that learners upload?
Writing history and recording cover answers written in EduMark. Uploaded files are not covered; EduMark Integrity checks them for plagiarism and AI-generated content instead.
Is screen and camera recording available for our centre?
Writing history and work replay are available on every invigilated assessment. Screen and camera recording are being switched on with centres; talk to us about enabling them for yours.
