Newcastle University’s Digital Exams Service in LTDS is a finalist for Best University Digital Assessment Programme at the 2026 International E-Assessment Awards. Recognised for its ambition, collaboration and impact, the team – Maddie Kinnair, Kimberly May-O’Brien, Susan Barfield, Michelle Waters and Katy-Rose Brennan – were recognised for building a digital exams service that is sustainable, secure, accessible and trusted across the University. Continuously improved through staff and student feedback, the service has transformed assessment delivery at scale while making exam administration and marking more efficient. We’ll hear the result on Tuesday June 9th!
