Our Story

We've Been Where You Are.
That's Why We Built This.

TiobExam was born from lived experience - the frustration of spending entire weekends writing exam questions, the chaos of coordinating submissions from dozens of lecturers, and the soul-crushing task of reformatting everything for Moodle.

Sound Familiar?

If You're a Lecturer...

It's Sunday evening. Tomorrow's deadline looms. You've got 25 exam questions to write for your module - questions that need to test real understanding, not just rote memorization.

You stare at your lecture slides, trying to craft questions that are clear, unambiguous, and actually aligned with Bloom's taxonomy (because the external examiner will definitely ask about cognitive levels).

Four hours later, you've written 15 questions. Most cluster around "remember" and "understand" because creating good analysis and evaluation questions takes twice as long. You're exhausted, and you still need to format everything properly.

3-4 hours per 20 questions
Higher-order questions are hardest
Content coverage is inconsistent

If You're a Coordinator...

You manage a module with 12 lecturers. The exam is in 6 weeks. You've sent the question allocation email three times now. Five lecturers haven't responded. Two submitted questions in the wrong format. One sent a Word doc with questions embedded in a table that won't copy properly.

Your inbox is a graveyard of "I'll send it by Friday" promises. Your spreadsheet tracking submissions is a masterpiece of color-coded anxiety. And you still need to compile everything, check for duplicates, verify Bloom's coverage, and convert it all to GIFT format for Moodle.

The exam board meets in two weeks. You'll spend the next 72 hours doing what should take 2.

Endless follow-up emails
Spreadsheet chaos
Format conversion nightmare

If You're a Head of Department...

You see the bigger picture. Your lecturers are stretched thin - teaching loads have increased, research expectations haven't decreased, and now there's pressure for "innovative assessment" and "AI-ready pedagogy."

Every exam cycle, you watch talented academics spend their research time writing questions. You get complaints about inconsistent exam quality across modules. External examiners note that some papers test only surface learning. And you know the hours your coordinators spend on logistics that add no educational value.

There has to be a better way.

Staff time misallocated
Quality inconsistency
Productivity bottlenecks

We Asked: What If?

What if lecturers could upload their actual teaching materials and get quality exam questions back - questions that genuinely test the content they taught?

What if those questions came pre-tagged with Bloom's taxonomy levels, difficulty ratings, and clear answer keys - ready for review, not rewriting?

What if coordinators could see a real-time dashboard of who's submitted, who's behind, and automatically send deadline reminders - without composing another email?

What if the final output was already in GIFT format, ready to upload directly to Moodle with one click?

What if exam preparation took hours instead of weeks?

Built on Principles That Matter

We're not here to replace academic expertise. We're here to amplify it.

Human in the Loop

AI generates. Humans decide. Every question is reviewed and approved by the lecturer before it reaches students. Your expertise, your control.

Your Content, Yours

Your lecture materials are processed securely and never shared. We don't train on your content. Your intellectual property remains exactly that - yours.

Pedagogically Sound

Questions are mapped to Bloom's taxonomy by design. Configure the cognitive levels you need. Get assessments that test real understanding, not just recall.

Time is Precious

Every feature is designed to save time without cutting corners. Because your time should go to teaching and research, not administrative formatting.

Let's Do the Math

A module with 10 lecturers, each writing 20 questions = 200 questions
Traditional time: 3 hours per lecturer = 30+ hours
Coordinator compilation and formatting = 6-8 hours
Total time without TiobExam 36-38 hours
With TiobExam
Upload, generate, review per lecturer = 30 min each
Coordinator dashboard monitoring = 1 hour
Export to GIFT format = 2 minutes
Total time with TiobExam ~6 hours
30+ hours returned to teaching, research, and life

Built for Academic Workflows

Whether you're writing questions for a single course or coordinating exams across an entire department, TiobExam adapts to your workflow.

Individual Lecturers

Upload your own materials, generate questions aligned with your teaching, and export in your preferred format. Full control, zero coordination overhead.

  • Upload any lecture material
  • Configure Bloom's levels

Departments & Institutions

Standardize exam quality across your department. Ensure consistent Bloom's coverage, reduce coordinator burden, and give time back to your academics.

  • Multi-module management
  • Organization-wide settings
  • Role-based access control
  • Quality standardization

Questions You Might Have

We know AI in education raises legitimate concerns. Here's how we address them.

"What about academic integrity?"

TiobExam is a tool for lecturers, not students. Questions are generated from your specific teaching materials and reviewed by you before use. The AI assists - it doesn't replace your academic judgment. You remain the gatekeeper of what reaches your students.

"Will questions be generic?"

No. Questions are generated from your actual lecture content - your examples, your case studies, your terminology. The AI doesn't pull from generic question banks. It creates questions specific to what you taught, using the context you provided.

"Can I actually edit the questions?"

Absolutely. Full editing control - modify wording, change options, adjust difficulty, rewrite explanations, or reject entirely. Think of AI-generated questions as a first draft that you refine. Most lecturers find they use 70-80% with minimal changes.

"What happens to my materials?"

Your materials are processed to extract content for question generation, then stored securely in your account. We don't share your content, don't train AI models on it, and you can delete it anytime. Your IP stays yours.

"Does it work for my discipline?"

TiobExam works across disciplines - from medicine to economics, engineering to humanities, law to social sciences. If you can teach it from slides or documents, we can help generate questions from it. Clinical vignettes, case studies, calculations - all supported.

"What if I don't use Moodle?"

While GIFT format (Moodle) is our most popular export, we also support Aiken format, PDF, and Word documents. Questions can be exported in whatever format your LMS or exam office requires.
