ProProfs simplified testing knowledge and issuing certificates.

The European Association of Science Editors (EASE) is an international community dedicated to promoting excellence in scholarly and scientific publishing. Founded in 1982, EASE connects over 600 members worldwide, including editors, researchers, and professionals across academic, medical, and scientific disciplines. The association offers a range of services, including training, networking, advocacy, and resources to support best practices in editing and publishing. Committed to advancing science communication, EASE fosters collaboration and innovation to improve the global standards of research publication.

EASE needed a streamlined way to assess and certify participants in its workshops and courses. Traditional methods provided certificates of attendance, but they lacked the capability to confirm participants' understanding of course material, especially in online settings.

Mary Hodgson, Secretary of EASE, noted, "We do lots of webinars and courses, and while people get a certificate of attendance, especially online, you don’t know whether they’re actually at their desks or engaged."

To address this, EASE adopted ProProfs Training Maker to implement an easy and efficient solution for course assessment and certification. ProProfs allowed EASE to:

• Create and Administer Quizzes: Develop quizzes as part of their workshop modules to confirm participant understanding.
• Issue Certificates of Completion: Provide participants with certificates that validated both their attendance and their comprehension of the material.
• Flexible Subscription Model: Subscribe to ProProfs only during the months quizzes are active, making it a cost-effective solution for their needs.

Mary appreciated the simplicity of ProProfs, stating, "This provided a quick, simple, and fairly easy way of doing something without it costing a lot or requiring a huge amount of effort."

By leveraging ProProfs Quiz Maker, EASE was able to enhance the value of its workshops and courses, ensuring participants gained both knowledge and proof of comprehension. Key results included:

• Improved Engagement: Quizzes encouraged participants to engage more deeply with the course material.
• Validated Learning: Certificates based on quiz performance gave members tangible proof of their understanding.
• Cost-Effective Implementation: The subscription model allowed EASE to optimize costs while maintaining high-quality services.

Mary shared, "We prepare quizzes that test participants’ understanding, and ProProfs gives them an opportunity to get a certificate that shows they’ve understood and taken the course on board."
