1. Technology overview
Cadmus is an education technology company that its website describes as Australian, with origins in a research partnership with the University of Melbourne aimed at academic misconduct. The site does not state the founding year. It sells an assessment platform to universities to design, deliver and mark authentic assessments in the age of generative AI.
The platform covers assignments, exams, group work, feedback and marking, learning assurance analytics and oral assessment. It records the drafting process so educators see how work was produced instead of relying only on AI detection. Customers are universities in Australia, the UK and other markets, with expansion into the US.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Assignments: authentic assessment design with process capture.
- Exams: digital in-place exams delivered at scale.
- Group work: structured collaboration with visibility into contributions.
- Feedback and marking: tools aimed at faster, consistent feedback.
- Learning assurance analytics: data on the assessment journey and at-risk students.
- Oral assessment: scalable oral assurance launched in March 2026.
3. Potential application
A Vietnamese university could run semester assignments with process capture to reduce AI-written submissions. Faculties could use oral assessment to verify authorship for capstone projects. Quality offices could use analytics to spot at-risk students early.
4. Benefits
Design-led academic integrity instead of detection-first approaches. Educators see the drafting process behind each submission. Marking and feedback tools aim to reduce educator workload. Data on student progress helps identify at-risk students early.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Universities are questioning AI detectors and shifting toward assessment redesign and oral verification. Vietnamese and Southeast Asian universities adopting generative AI policies face the same integrity and workload pressures.
