# Information for Students

This article provides information you can share with your students.

## What is EXAMIND?

EXAMIND is a learning and assessment platform designed to minimize stress. We prioritize a seamless technology experience and utilize neuroscience to enhance student performance. Our software is designed to uphold academic integrity without sacrificing student experience. It ensures academic integrity without using intrusive technologies like webcams or lockdown browsers. No installation is required to use the software.

## Student Access

To access EXAMIND, log into your course's learning management system (LMS) and navigate to the assessment. Click on the assessment, and a new browser tab will automatically open to launch EXAMIND.

Upon entering the student dashboard, you can navigate to your course and assessment. Every student will be enrolled in a demo course. We encourage you to take the demo quiz in the demo course to familiarize yourself with EXAMIND.

## System Requirements

EXAMIND is a browser-based platform so no installation is required. We recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. We also recommend updating your web browser before your assessment.

A computer is recommended for taking your assessment. We do not recommend using a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. For the best experience, use a computer.

## Tools in the Assessment

Look for the buttons in the bottom-right corner of the assessment screen.

**Accessibility settings** are always there. Open them to turn on Color Blind Mode — with a setting for deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia, or achromatopsia — or a font designed for readers with dyslexia. Your choices are saved to your account, so you only set them once.

**A calculator** appears when your instructor has enabled one for that assessment. It opens in a panel you can drag wherever you like on the screen, and closing it keeps what you had entered, so you can put it away mid-calculation and come back to it.

## Assessment Guidelines

For rules of behavior during your assessment, refer to the direct instructions of your instructor. EXAMIND uses dynamic questions and randomization techniques to ensure that no student gains an unfair advantage when taking an assessment.

In addition to these techniques, the instructor can enable certain warning features for students engaged in cheating behavior. If triggered, a dialog box will appear, and the student must acknowledge the warning before returning to the assessment. The instructor will be notified when such warnings are triggered.

## Support

If you have any questions or experience technical issues with EXAMIND, please contact us directly at <support@examind.io> before reaching out to your professor. We will be available to answer any questions you have.

We are confident that you will enjoy your assessment experience with EXAMIND.
