Örnsköldsviks Gymnasium is a large high school in the municipality of Örnsköldsvik in the north of Sweden. Kristina Renlund and Magnus Wallberg are two teachers who have been working at the school for many years, both of whom became Exam.net users more than five years ago for very different reasons.
Kristina is a language teacher and back in 2017 she was looking for an online teaching tool where her students could write, adjust and revise written texts without the inconvenience of working by hand and to mark their work more easily.

The vast majority of teachers could learn to use Exam.net without help and the technology gained their trust, leading to increased confidence whilst proctoring online assessments.
For Kristina the benefits of marking digital as opposed to handwritten texts were clear from the beginning – so much time was saved during the marking and grading process. It became far easier for a teacher to decipher tricky handwriting and write comments on a digital text. Writing texts in Exam.net also had an unexpected and very positive effect on the students. The flexibility of being able to reconsider, rearrange and rework their texts in a user-friendly digital test environment led to much improved student confidence and performance.

Teachers and students alike particularly appreciate the chat function in the Exam.net test window which enables communication between teacher and students without disturbing the other students. For Magnus, the versatility of this proved particularly useful when he was called away suddenly just before a high-stakes examination was due to take place.
