Everything you need to run
oral assessment at scale
With Oral Assessment you can
Keep criteria consistent across every assessor
Shared rubrics and question sets mean every student is assessed against the same standard, whoever runs the session.
Set up within minutes
Define topics and questions with optional AI support, so preparing a rigorous session does not cost an afternoon.
Use the Conversation Assistant
Live suggestions surface the right follow-up question at the right moment, so assessors stay present instead of managing a script.
Bring in more than one assessor
Add a second assessor to the same live session for moderation, calibration, or training a new examiner.
Search the transcript
Every session is recorded and transcribed, so grading, moderation, and appeals have evidence to point to.
Run it in your LMS, on any device
No external tools, room bookings, or file transfers, with recordings, summaries, and grades stored automatically.

Frequently asked questions
What is Oral Assessment used for?
Oral Assessment is designed to deliver consistent, high quality live oral assessment at any cohort size, with academic judgment and final grading always retained by the human assessor. Learn more here
Does AI grade the student during the Oral Assessment?
No. Acai, our academic AI, supports the assessor in real time through the Conversation Assistant, which suggests follow up questions visible only to the assessor. Grading happens afterward, with an optional Acai Grade Assistant drafting a grade the assessor can accept, edit, or discard. The final call always stays with the assessor. Learn more here
Can a second assessor join an Oral Assessment session?
Yes. A second assessor can join the same live session for moderation or double marking. Each session is one on one between a student and their assessor or assessors. Learn more here
Is a transcript or summary of the oral assessment generated automatically?
Yes. Every session produces a full, keyword searchable transcript, and instructors can turn on Acai, our academic AI, for automated highlights for timestamped links to key moments worth reviewing. Learn more here
How do Oral Assessment rubrics and grades work with my LMS?
Rubrics attach directly to the assessment so every assessor works from the same criteria, and grades push back to the LMS gradebook automatically once confirmed. Learn more here
