For teachers, lecturers and teaching teams
Tessera is online exam software for educators who would rather spend the evening teaching than marking. Build a question bank for each course, assemble an exam while watching the exact student preview, run a timed sitting that auto-saves, and read the results the same afternoon — from elementary school to university.
Test banks
Every question you write joins a course-specific bank, tagged by topic, difficulty and points. Assemble a quiz, a midterm and a final from the same bank without retyping a word — and improve questions term after term instead of starting over.
Live preview
The exam builder renders the student view as you type, side by side with your editing. There is no publish-and-pray step: what you preview is what the class gets.
Timed sittings
Set a time limit and Tessera runs the countdown, warns students as time runs low and writes answers back continuously. A dropped connection or a closed laptop does not cost a student their work.
Grading
Multiple-choice and other objective answers are scored on the server the moment a student submits. Results land in the gradebook immediately — no evening with a marking key.
Gradebook & analytics
Per-student scores, per-question difficulty and mastery trends across the term show you which questions worked and which topics need reteaching.
Course materials
Post resource links and upload files — readings, slides, practice sheets — directly on the course. Enrolled students see them in the same place they take their exams.
Short quizzes with clear, friendly screens young students can navigate on their own.
Timed practice exams and unit tests with a question bank that grows with each course you teach.
Large-enrollment sittings, per-question analytics and role-driven access for teaching teams.
Works inside your LMS
Every course, exam and result lives behind a stable link with role-driven access, so Tessera can sit inside the platform your school already uses. Students join a course with a simple invite link — no accounts to manage by hand.
LTI & LMS integration
Tessera is built to live inside the platform your school already runs. Every course, exam and result sits behind a stable, role-driven link, so an instructional designer can drop a Tessera activity straight into Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom or Schoology the same way they add any other tool — no separate portal for students to remember.
