# Overview

The EXAMIND Platform is the core web app for building, delivering, and auto-grading assessments — both quantitative work (calculations, journal entries, Excel models) and qualitative work (essays, case studies, memos) — with academic integrity built in. Use it on its own or integrated with your LMS.

## What you can do with it

* **A question type for every kind of work** — [eight in all](/v1/examind-platform/build/question-builder/question-types.md): multiple choice and multiple answer, matching, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, journal entries, financial statements, and Excel workbooks — organized in a reusable [question bank](/v1/examind-platform/build/question-bank.md) you can share across courses.
* **A unique assessment for every student** — the [dynamic question engine](/v1/examind-platform/build/question-builder/dynamic-questions.md) generates per-student variants of a question, so no two students see exactly the same exam.
* **Specialized assessment formats** — beyond question-based exams and quizzes, build open-response [Essay assessments](/v1/examind-platform/build/assessments/assessment-types/essay-assessments.md) (with an optional AI writing assistant), AI-driven [Simulation](/v1/examind-platform/build/assessments/assessment-types/simulation-assessments.md) scenarios, and [Excel assessments](/v1/examind-platform/build/assessments/assessment-types/excel-assessments.md) completed directly in Microsoft Excel.
* **Integrity built in** — monitor attempts live with [Live View](/v1/examind-platform/deliver/live-view.md), discourage misconduct with [Tactical Deterrents](/v1/examind-platform/deliver/tactical-deterrents.md), control [offline behavior](/v1/examind-platform/deliver/offline-behavior.md), and connect your [proctoring tool](/v1/it-administration/proctoring-integrations.md).
* **Grading that mostly does itself** — most question types are [auto-graded](/v1/examind-platform/grade.md) the moment students submit, with [analytics](/v1/examind-platform/grade/results.md), [grading adjustments](/v1/examind-platform/grade/grading-adjustment.md), and student [self-review](/v1/examind-platform/grade/self-review.md).
* **Standalone or in your LMS** — use EXAMIND on its own, or [integrate via LTI](/v1/it-administration/lms-integrations.md) with Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, or Moodle for roster sync, deep-linking, and grade passback.
