What's new in Examplary

Examplary now supports real-time collaboration on tests. Teachers can now work together on the same test simultaneously, making it easier to create and edit tests as a team. Changes made by one teacher will be instantly visible to others, allowing for seamless collaboration and improved efficiency in test creation.

This feature is designed to enhance teamwork and streamline the process of developing high-quality assessments for students.

As part of this update, we also rolled out:

• A new interface for inviting participants and collaborators to tests, making it easier to manage access and permissions.
• Improved email delivery and design for invitations to both students and fellow teachers.
• Allowing students to start a test from their student homepage, perfect for formative assessments and practice tests.

When a student signs in to Examplary, they now receive a 6-digit verification code by email instead of a clickable sign-in link.

After entering their email address, a code input field appears right on the login screen. The student types in the code from their email to complete sign-in — no need to click a link in a separate browser tab.

The code expires after 30 minutes. If it expires, the student can simply start the sign-in process again to get a new one.

When Examplary auto-grades an answer, it suggests how many points to award — and, for rubric questions, which level fits best — along with the reasoning behind it. Until now, the moment you adjusted that score yourself, the suggestion disappeared.

Now it sticks around. After you change a grade, the AI marker stays visible (just dimmed), and hovering over it shows the points and rubric level the AI originally suggested, together with its reasoning.

That makes it easy to compare your own adjustments against what the AI recommended — especially handy when you're grading longer answers or moderating results together with colleagues.

Importing tests from QTI files is now more accurate and reliable for both QTI 2.1 and QTI 3 formats.

When reimporting a QTI file that was originally exported from Examplary, all questions are now fully restored — including custom question types specific to your workspace. Previously, questions could lose their original type or settings during a QTI roundtrip.

You can now select and upload multiple PDF files at once when scanning student answers from the results page. Examplary processes all files in parallel, with a separate progress indicator for each one.

If any file fails, it's flagged individually so you can retry just that file without re-uploading everything else.

Previously, only one PDF could be uploaded at a time.

Organization administrators can now prevent teachers from inviting new users to the workspace. When this setting is turned off, only administrators can invite new students and colleagues by pasting an email address — teachers will see an error message if they try.

You'll find the new toggle in your organization settings, under the access control section alongside other sharing options.

Our AI grader can now reference parts of the student answer in the feedback and reasoning it generates, making it easier to verify the claims it makes are correct.

In addition, this release contains a few other tweaks to make it easier to grade scanned student answers:

• You can now toggle between the text extracted from a scan and the scan itself, so that you can quickly verify structure and accuracy.
• We fixed a bug that meant that editing a scanned answer would remove the scan. It is now retained, as intended.
• When using an analytical rubric, the number of points specified in the rubric is enforced, so that the AI can't decide to assign a different number of points.

You can now export any rubric from the rubric editor. Open a question, then click the options menu (⋯) in the rubric section to:

• Print the rubric as a formatted overview
• Download as Word to get a .docx file you can share or edit further
• Copy to clipboard to paste the rubric directly into another document or email

This makes it easier to share rubrics with colleagues, include them in paper-based assessments, or use them outside of Examplary.

Organization administrators can now restrict how users and groups are visible to each other. When enabled, users will only see the groups they're a member of, and the sharing dialog will only surface users who are in at least one shared group with them.

Admins always retain full visibility across the organization. This setting can be toggled in your organization settings.

You can now create groups of users directly from the dashboard. Add users by searching their name or email, or paste a list of addresses to invite everyone at once.

Groups make it easy to assign the same test or practice space to a whole class, and in the future will allow you to filter results by group when you review them.
