For educational publishers

You've already built the content. We built the assessment engine.

Paragin Group adds the assessment layer around what you publish: item banks, practice, secure exams and practical assessment.

A book can teach. Proving someone learned takes something else.

When a school, college or training provider chooses material, the question is rarely only whether the content is good. It is also how they will know learners have mastered it. Assessment is where that answer comes from, and where your content earns its place in the course.

Is the content good?That is your work, and it is already done.

How will we know they mastered it?That answer comes from assessment.

Two ways to extend your content into assessment

Assessment technology around your content, taken as deep as your titles need. It extends what you publish rather than replacing it.

1Knowledge + practical assessment

Assess what someone knows and what they can do

Secure exams and structured item banking for knowledge-based content. Observation, evidence collection and competency sign-off for practical, workplace-based assessment.

  • Theory assessment: item banking, secure delivery, marking and analysis
  • Practical and competency assessment: observation, evidence and sign-off against a standard
  • Use one or both, depending on what your content needs
2Maths learning & readiness

Practice and readiness built for maths specifically

A general-purpose question bank falls short for maths. Paragin goes deeper for maths practice, diagnostics and readiness, with step-by-step feedback rather than right or wrong, so your maths content turns into ongoing practice.

  • Diagnostic and adaptive maths practice, not adapted from generic content
  • Step-by-step feedback rather than binary scoring
  • Fits readiness and bridging programmes as well as core curriculum

One assessment layer around your content

Development, practice, assessment and improvement, connected as one cycle rather than a set of separate tools bolted onto your content.

Assessment inside your own platform

Keep learners in your own reader, portal or learning environment. The assessment runs inside it, under your brand.

  • APIPut items, practice and results inside your own product.
  • LTILaunch from the learning environment your customers already use.
  • SSOOne login for learners, no second account.
  • Rights and rolesControl access across authors, editorial teams, customers and their learners.

Questions

What publishers ask us

Can assessment run inside our own platform, under our brand?

Yes. Learners stay in your own reader, portal or learning environment, and the assessment runs inside it under your brand. Paragin connects through a documented API, plus LTI and SSO.

Do we have to change or replace our content?

No. Paragin Group adds the assessment layer around what you publish: item banks, practice, secure exams and practical assessment. It extends your content rather than replacing it.

Can we assess practical skills as well as knowledge?

Yes. Secure exams and structured item banking cover knowledge-based content. Observation, evidence collection and competency sign-off cover practical, workplace-based assessment. Use one or both, depending on what your content needs.

What does Paragin offer for maths?

Diagnostic and adaptive maths practice, built for maths rather than adapted from generic content, with step-by-step feedback instead of right or wrong. It fits readiness and bridging programmes as well as the core curriculum.

How do assessment results improve our next edition?

Results and item-level analysis feed straight back into the next content cycle, so you can see which items to revise and sharpen the next item bank.

Is learner data secure?

Paragin Group has been ISO 27001 certified since 2015, for all managed technical assets and all software products. All data is stored within the European Economic Area, and every subprocessor is bound by a written data processing agreement.
