What Speedwell eSystem is
Speedwell eSystem is an online platform for creating, managing, delivering, and marking assessments. It supports written exams, paper exams processed with OMR scanning, OSCEs, remote OSCEs, MMIs, and viva voce assessments. Question-bank tools centralize questions, support blueprinting and categorization, provide performance analytics, and record changes, versions, and author activity. Supported question formats include multiple choice, extended matching, short answers, essays, hot spots, drag and drop, OSCE, MMI, and viva voce. The additional Remote OSCE module provides built-in video, automatic station rotation, and real-time sharing of images and assessment materials. Lockdown settings are designed to restrict access to files, websites, and unauthorized materials. API connectivity transfers assessment and reporting data to other systems. Hosting can be Speedwell cloud or a local network, with single sign-on, LDAP, or username-password authentication. iOS and Android apps support offline OSCE result recording. A free trial site is available for pilot exams.
