Take an in-depth look at how educators have used Cadmus to better deliver assessments.
Cadmus is excited to announce that as of November 2025 we have been awarded the first place on Lot 2 – Innovative, Value-Adding VLE Systems & Associated Services under APUC’s Framework Agreement ITS 1065 AP.
As a result, higher education institutions across the UK can now procure Cadmus – and directly award – through the University of London (CoSector) as an associated service (*Buyer’s Portal: https://hunterpcm.uk/*).
By leveraging this framework, institutions gain a streamlined procurement route — removing one of the biggest barriers to innovation. With Cadmus, educators can build and deliver scalable, high-quality digital assessments, generate actionable student engagement analytics, and enhance learning outcomes — all within a secure, end-to-end environment.
While this framework applies to institutions across the UK, it also demonstrates importance globally – that Cadmus has been validated as a reputable partner for sector-wide adoption. This signals lower implementation risk, institutional scalability, and powerful reporting that support quality frameworks across other regions such as Australia, the Middle East, and the US.
Cadmus is proud to partner with the University of London, a trusted institution supporting 210,000 students in London and 40,000 students globally. This collaboration underscores a sector-driven commitment to evidence-based, uplifted teaching and assessment – beyond technology.
Co-Chief Executive Office and Founder at Cadmus, Herk Kailis, commented “We’re grateful to work alongside the University of London in making assessment innovation more accessible across the sector. This framework represents more than a procurement pathway — it’s an opportunity for institutions to lead the change we’re already seeing from educators committed to improving student learning and academic integrity. We’re here to support that work.”

Why universities agree with design-led integrity—but still struggle to move beyond detection
In this piece, Nick Bareham explores the gap between institutional belief and purchasing behaviour—and why procurement inertia, not lack of awareness, is slowing the shift to design-led integrity. From hidden reputational risks to the coming platform transition in assessment, this is a clear-eyed look at what’s really holding the sector back—and what it will take to move forward.

Using data to identify at-risk students early
A practical piece for educators on identifying at-risk students earlier by looking beyond final submissions. It shows how process-level signals, such as engagement patterns, drafting behaviour, and time-on-task, provide a clearer view of student progress, and how to act on those signals through early check-ins and more targeted support.

What a design-led model of academic integrity actually looks like in practice
In this piece, Cadmus Co-CEO Brigitte Elliott puts language to a growing shift in the sector: from treating academic integrity as a compliance challenge to understanding it as a function of assessment design. Drawing on decades of research, she outlines how institutions can move beyond detection-led responses and build systems that produce verifiable learning by design.
