Examination Center vs LMS Code Box
An LMS code box can collect an answer. Examination Center provides the exam-time interpreter/compiler runtime, monitoring layer, recovery path, and evidence record the LMS does not provide.
Examination Center is in early access — we're onboarding institutions through our Early Access Program. The information here describes our current platform and direction and may evolve; it is not a contractual commitment.
Key differences
| Examination Center | LMS code box | |
|---|---|---|
| Run code during the exam | Yes: Python in-browser; C, C++, Fortran, Java in secure sandbox | Usually no; often just a text response field |
| Exam access | LMS workflow or secure exam link with access code | Inside LMS only |
| Identical runtime | Yes | Depends on external tools or local setup |
| Live monitoring | Current code, run history, save state, and integrity alerts | Limited or unavailable |
| Autosave and recovery | Built for interrupted sessions | Varies by LMS and browser state |
| Grading | Stays in your existing workflow | Stays in LMS workflow |
When to choose Examination Center
Use Examination Center when the exam requires students to write and run real code under consistent conditions, while the LMS continues to handle course context, communications, and grading records.

FAQ
Does Examination Center replace the LMS?
No. It works alongside the LMS or through a secure exam link. The LMS can remain the course system and grading workflow.
Does it auto-grade LMS submissions?
No. Examination Center is not an autograder. It provides the controlled exam runtime and evidence records; grading stays with the institution.
Can we run it without LMS integration?
Yes. Instructors can share a secure exam/interpreter/compiler link and access code.
