ExamSoft Help for Instructors

ExamSoft is an assessment platform used by select health profession programs at UIW. This guide connects faculty with instructions and tech support once they have access to use ExamSoft.

Note: Faculty are granted access by their department and there are two versions of ExamSoft used by instructors, Legacy or Enterprise. Most help topics require you to choose between these versions, but you can easily see the difference when you open the product.

Legacy has round, blue buttons, Enterprise has a list of departments

ExamSoft Support

ExamSoft support is available 24/7 by phone and chat if you need assistance. We recommend the person experiencing an issue contact support themselves as every device needs specific troubleshooting. Calling support on behalf of a student is not recommended.

UIW ExamSoft Administrators

Legacy users have a key administrator within their department. The key administrator is the only person with full permissions to manage settings, access, and features.

Enterprise, however, is managed in partnership by both the UIW Instructional Technology team and department administrators.

The instructional technology team ensures all departments have an assigned space, test bank courses, and synced Canvas courses to effectively use the system each term.
Department administrators add students, give instructors access to their courses, determine categories for tracking, and set policy on the use of assessment settings, category usage, and reporting features.
