Janison Assessment Platform with Jai AI

Janison was started in 1998 by Wayne Houlden and is headquartered in Sydney, with an office in London. It provides digital assessment technology and services to education authorities, schools, universities, professional associations, licensing bodies and language testers, and its platform powers NAPLAN Online, Australia's national literacy and numeracy assessment.

The platform covers authoring, delivery, marking, analysis and reporting. Tests run in a locked-down browser or app, can work offline, and support hybrid paper delivery with scanning. An AI remote proctoring tool verifies identity, scans rooms and flags possible violations for review. Jai, the AI authoring agent, generates and refines multiple-choice, short-answer and essay items, enriches metadata and creates accessible substitute items using models from several providers, with role permissions, audit logs and QTI-standard output.

• Jai AI authoring: generates and refines items across subjects and formats, trainable on existing banks.
• Secure delivery: locked-down browser or app, offline capability and hybrid paper delivery.
• AI remote proctoring: ID verification, room scans and flagged violations for review.

Education ministries and certification bodies are moving high-stakes exams to computer-based delivery and using generative AI to scale item banks. Vietnam is expanding computer-based testing for university entrance and English proficiency, which raises demand for secure delivery, item banking and AI-assisted test development.
