What our attendees had to say:
“Very informative, as always! That you invite departmental administrators to share their best practices. That is very helpful!”
“All sessions were extremely interesting and informative. The presentations were great and not too long. They provided relevant information that was easy to understand with useful and helpful take-aways..”
“The conference is always well-organized, and I am pleasantly surprised every year that there are new and interesting topics. I LOVE that it is always so efficient. No time wasted and a LOT of information delivered. Thank you to the team that put such care and attention to the delivery of the conference every year.”

Exams Session for Faculty and Staff (Digital Exam Sign-In and CoMaS+ Upgrade)
A faculty session on exams; however, everyone is welcome. This session will provide two technical demonstrations. First, digital exam sign-in, which will eventually replace the paper attendance sheets during examinations. We beta tested this solution over the summer and will continue to scale, with the objective of a wide-scale implementation by Winter 2026. Secondly, CoMaS+, which replaces the legacy CoMaS. CoMaS+ is not the e-Proctoring tool that was introduced during the pandemic; this application can also facilitate in-person digital examinations.
