Academic Integrity by Design

The Future of Authentic Assessment.

In an AI world, outputs can no longer prove authorship. dnED records the process of thinking itself — not just what is submitted at the end.

The Problem

Universities can no longer reliably determine whether submitted work reflects genuine student understanding.

Generative AI can produce convincing essays in seconds.

Traditional plagiarism detectors only catch copying, not AI assistance.

Academic misconduct investigations drain resources and damage trust.

Students who work honestly have no way to prove their process.

The Solution

dnED records the development of reasoning throughout coursework creation.

Instead of assessing only the final submission, dnED captures the entire journey — from initial research notes through each draft, revision, and refinement. The process becomes the proof.

Evidence, not detection

Build a transparent record of authorship rather than trying to catch cheaters after the fact.

Formative by design

Students receive feedback on their reasoning process, not just their final output.

Trust through transparency

When the process is visible, suspicion gives way to constructive dialogue.

Platform Features

A complete system for authentic assessment

Every component designed to capture, review, and verify the thinking behind student work.

Thinking Timeline

A visual record of how arguments form, branch, and consolidate over time. See the evolution of student reasoning at a glance.

AI Socratic Questioning

Intelligent questioning probes understanding in real-time, encouraging deeper thinking and surfacing genuine comprehension.

Viva Interviews

Structured oral checks tied directly to evidence in the submission. Verify understanding without invasive surveillance.

Authorship Evidence

Keystroke patterns, drafting cycles, and revision trails create a defensible record of original authorship.

Lecturer Dashboard

Evidence-rich review tools that let lecturers spend time on feedback, not forensics. Review submissions with context.

Cohort Analytics

Module and programme-level insight without surveillance theatre. Patterns, not punishments. Data for improvement.
