Reduce dependence on bulky PC laboratories
The goal is to give institutions another path to CBT without requiring every candidate position to be a complete desktop-computer workstation.
A dedicated device built for the assessment itself.
We are building a device that gives a focused exam environment and gives institutions another way to deploy Quiyo without depending entirely on personal devices or large desktop-computer labs.
Quiyo Device
Concept · In development
SUPPORTED BY LEADING TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEMS
CBT should not require every institution to build a room full of desktop PCs.
Many schools want to move toward computer-based assessment, but acquiring, powering, housing and maintaining large numbers of full desktop computers can make that transition difficult. At the other extreme, relying on unrestricted personal phones, tablets or laptops creates a different set of problems during an examination.
Quiyo Device is being developed as a focused middle ground: dedicated assessment hardware built around the Quiyo exam experience rather than around general-purpose computing.
Make CBT easier to adopt
Schools that want computer-based tests but cannot justify a large PC deployment could use dedicated assessment devices as a more focused hardware option.
Keep the candidate inside the assessment environment
The planned device experience is centered on the exam itself, reducing unnecessary access to general browsing, unrelated apps and other activity outside the assessment flow.
Reduce opportunities for exam malpractice
No device can guarantee a malpractice-free examination. The aim is to reduce common opportunities such as leaving the exam environment, switching to unrelated applications or using the device for activity the assessment did not intend.
Deploy the same experience again and again
A known, dedicated device gives institutions a more consistent endpoint for classroom tests, departmental assessments, CBT sessions and larger examination halls.
Connect delivery back to Quiyo
The device is not being imagined as a separate exam product. It is intended to work with the same assessments, candidates, attempts and results managed through Quiyo.
What we currently imagine the device looking like.
These renders are design references for the direction we are exploring. They communicate the type of dedicated assessment terminal we want to build; they are not photographs of finished hardware and they do not lock the final product to the ports, dimensions or industrial details shown here.
Concept only. Final hardware may differ in size, materials, ports, controls, charging method and other specifications.
The device is meant to extend Quiyo, not create a second assessment system.
-
Prepare
Create, organize and publish the assessment through Quiyo.
-
Deliver
Use dedicated Quiyo devices for candidate assessment sessions where that hardware model makes sense.
-
Review
The goal is for attempts, scores and follow-up work to remain connected to the same Quiyo environment.
The value becomes clearer when an institution needs many exam seats.
The device direction is being shaped around coordinated deployment: classroom sets, departmental assessments, temporary CBT rooms and examination halls using tens or hundreds of dedicated assessment terminals.
These numbers illustrate deployment scenarios, not announced device packages or technical limits.
Built around places where assessment is repeated at scale.
Schools and universities
Class tests, departmental assessments, mock examinations and larger CBT sessions.
Training organizations
Recurring learner assessments, certification preparation and controlled testing sessions.
Professional and certification assessments
Dedicated candidate devices for organizations that regularly assess groups of participants.
Temporary exam deployments
Assessment setups where maintaining a permanent desktop laboratory is not the only practical option.
In development.
The product direction is active, but the final hardware specification, form factor, software lockdown approach, deployment model, availability and pricing are still being developed.
That is why the site presents Quiyo Device as a direction we are building toward rather than a product already available to order.
What is fixed, and what is not yet.
Is Quiyo Device available now?
No. It is currently in development.
Will Quiyo stop working on normal phones and computers?
No. The device is planned as an additional assessment option, not a replacement for the existing Quiyo software experience.
Are these renders the final hardware design?
No. They are representative concept visuals used to communicate the prototype direction. The final enclosure, ports, dimensions, charging approach and interface details may change.
Will institutions be able to deploy many devices?
Large deployment is one of the main use cases shaping the product direction. Exact procurement, provisioning and management options will be announced later.
Why not just use desktop PCs?
Desktop CBT laboratories remain useful, but they can be expensive to acquire, power, house and maintain at scale. Quiyo Device is being explored as a dedicated alternative for institutions that want assessment hardware without making every exam seat a full desktop workstation.
Will the device prevent exam malpractice?
It is intended to reduce opportunities for common device-based malpractice by keeping candidates inside a focused assessment environment and limiting unrelated device activity. We do not claim that any single device can prevent every form of malpractice.
Will it replace phones, tablets and computers?
No. Quiyo will continue to work through its supported software experiences. The dedicated device is an additional deployment option for institutions or assessment settings where a controlled endpoint is valuable.
The software is already here. The dedicated hardware is what we are building next.
