SMOWL Onboarding:
Your technology adoption journey
This guide brings together all the key phases, resources, and actions to ensure the successful deployment of SMOWL in your institution.
We will help you transform academic integrity management, from defining your strategic objectives to conducting your first proctored exam.
Each stage is designed to guide you with clarity and confidence, turning every assessment into a secure, reliable, and frictionless experience for administrators, professors, and students.
1. Planning and Impact
The foundation of a successful integration lies in the clarity of your goals and the organization of your team.
Needs identification
Define your goals and reflect on how SMOWL will transform your institution's educational quality and academic integrity.
Role assignment
Identify your internal leaders: Administrators and Teachers. Overcoming resistance to change starts here.
Timeline
To activate your roadmap, let's start from the end: when is your first real exam with students? Once we have that deployment date clear, we'll plan backward through the key milestones: creating policies and materials, training, and integration.
2. Integration and Configuration in Your LMS
We connect SMOWL to your environment to build a robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure.

4. Deployment and Testing
Adoption is complete when your first proctored exam takes place. Make sure everything runs smoothly by validating your setup.
Mock Exam (Key Step)
Run a no-stakes practice exam to get students registered early, catch any technical issues, and reduce anxiety on exam day.
Everything Under Control
Validate your infrastructure and get ready for continuous follow-up and post-exam process improvement.
