Authentic assessment is difficult to scale
As AI makes written submissions harder to trust, oral assessment is the strongest way to surface genuine understanding.
The challenge is running it consistently at scale: ensuring every session delivers real pedagogical value and every student across a large cohort has an equally rigorous experience. Our Oral Assessment tool changes that. AI supports the instructor in real time during every live session, suggesting targeted questions, flagging signals worth exploring, and generating a post-session summary. Every student gets the same quality of assessment experience. Every instructor has the same support, and every institution has the evidence trail it needs.

Why choose Oral Assessment
for your classroom?
Consistent quality across every cohort
A shared assessment framework ensures every student is assessed against the same criteria, supporting fairness, quality, and reliable outcomes at scale.
Pedagogical AI in your corner
AI suggests questions and highlights moments to explore, while instructors stay in control of the conversation and final assessment decisions.
Evidence you can stand behind
Automated summaries, recordings, and structured evidence simplify moderation, quality assurance, and review across every session, without adding extra workload for instructors.
With Oral Assessment you can
Set up every session in minutes
Every session follows a clear, consistent framework. Define topics and questions upfront so all assessors are working from the same structure, and every student receives the same purposeful experience. Need a starting point? Acai can suggest a starting outline based on your topic and learning outcomes, so you spend less time on setup and more time on the conversation itself.

Find exactly what you need, fast
Every session is recorded, transcribed, and stored automatically: no chasing files, no lost notes, no manual admin. Search by keyword to jump to any moment on the timeline, switch between the transcript and the student's submitted work in a tabbed view, and use Acai Highlights to navigate straight to the moments that matter most. Feedback can be added after the fact, and recordings used as evidence in moderation or quality assurance processes at any point.
Consistent criteria across every assessor
Attach rubrics directly to the assessment so all assessors are evaluating against the same criteria from the start. Shared rubrics across your institution keep quality review straightforward and reduce drift between sessions. After the session, Acai can suggest a grade and justification based on your rubric, and grades push back to your LMS automatically when you are ready.
In your LMS, on any device
Students launch their oral assessment directly from your LMS: on phone, tablet, or laptop. No scheduling offsite rooms, no recording devices to book, no extra accounts or downloads. Mic and camera are set up in a few taps, and everything runs where students and assessors already are, with nothing extra for IT to configure.
Built for teams and groups
Run sessions with multiple assessors present, or bring groups and teams into a single session together. Every conversation feeds into the same framework, so scaling oral assessment across a large cohort or multi-programme curriculum does not mean sacrificing structure, consistency, or the quality of the assessment experience for individual students.
