Google Drive and Google Team Drive links allow documents, videos, links, and other media to accompany curriculum. Embarc+ supports sharing lessons and activities within and between participating districts.

ExamSoft is a digital assessment platform for creating, administering, and grading exams, then generating performance reports. The ExamSoft Portal supports item banking, authoring, scheduling, scoring, and reporting. Questions can be tagged for reporting, and the portal provides category and longitudinal performance reports. Exam-takers download exam files before the scheduled assessment and can then work offline in Examplify. For assessments marked secure, Examplify restricts access to other files and applications, and exam files are deleted from the device after completion. When enabled, ExamMonitor records video and audio during secure assessments for later review of potential academic integrity breaches. Listed LMS integrations include Blackboard 9.1 and above, Canvas, D2L, and Moodle 2.9 and above, with student and course data syncing to ExamSoft and grades to the LMS GradeBook. ExamSoft serves education programs and organizations administering certification and licensure exams. Pricing is on request. Examplify supports Windows, macOS, and iPad, but not Chromebooks, Android, or Linux.
