# Welcome to EXAMIND

EXAMIND helps higher-education instructors **build, deliver, and auto-grade assessments** — both quantitative work (calculations, journal entries, Excel models) and qualitative work (essays, memos, case studies) — with academic integrity built in. This documentation covers everything you need to set up, run, and grade with EXAMIND.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Works with your LMS.** EXAMIND integrates with **any LMS that supports LTI** — including Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Moodle — for single sign-on, roster sync, deep-linking assessments, and posting grades back.
{% endhint %}

## What EXAMIND can do

EXAMIND has two complementary products.

### Examind Platform

The core web platform for building, delivering, and auto-grading assessments:

* **Build** — a [question builder](/v1/examind-platform/build/question-builder.md) with eight question types, a [dynamic question engine](/v1/examind-platform/build/question-builder/dynamic-questions.md) that gives every student a unique variant for integrity, a reusable [question bank](/v1/examind-platform/build/question-bank.md), and an [assessment builder](/v1/examind-platform/build/assessments.md).
* **Deliver** — [schedule](/v1/examind-platform/deliver/schedule.md) assessments with time limits and availability windows, monitor attempts live with [Live View](/v1/examind-platform/deliver/live-view.md), and discourage misconduct with [Tactical Deterrents](/v1/examind-platform/deliver/tactical-deterrents.md). Includes [Excel Assignments](/v1/examind-platform/deliver/excel-assignments.md) via the Excel add-in.
* **Grade** — auto-graded [results](/v1/examind-platform/grade/results.md) with analytics, [grading adjustments](/v1/examind-platform/grade/grading-adjustment.md), and configurable [self review](/v1/examind-platform/grade/self-review.md).
* **Connect** — [works with any LMS that supports LTI](/v1/it-administration/lms-integrations.md) (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, and more) for roster sync, deep-linking, and grade posting.

### Feedback Machines

A [system that harnesses leading AI models](/v1/feedback-machines/get-started.md) to auto-grade and provide detailed, rubric-aligned feedback on qualitative student work — essays, memos, case studies, presentations, EXAMIND Simluations and more — in two modes: **iterative draft feedback** and **bulk-grading-assist**.
