Akanya does not add hours to an assessment.

It helps lecturers decide how the existing assessment time should be used.

Change the settings below and watch the proposed structure update. This is a bounded preview built for the public site, using predefined configuration outcomes.

Your three hours assessment remains within the original assessment window. The time is redistributed, not extended.

Recommended reasoning components

  • Source evidence
  • Evidence selection
  • Analysis
  • Initial position
  • Targeted challenge
  • Revision
  • Final judgement

Suggested use case: A examination that ends in a recommendation the student must defend.

Rationale: An examination carries weight, so the reasoning journey is worth protecting inside the existing window. Judgement outcomes need a defended conclusion, not only a correct one.

Illustrative preview. Live assessment logic and institutional configuration are developed within controlled pilot environments.

For lecturers

The lecturer remains in control.

Akanya does not replace academic judgement. It gives lecturers better evidence on which to apply it.

Add sources, set requirements, then review and approve the draft.
