Surface genuine understanding through spoken reflection
Everything you need to make
student thinking visible
With Oral Reflection you can
You set the structure
Choose the topics and questions students walk through, so every reflection covers what the learning objectives actually require.
Go straight to the highlights worth reviewing
Our academic AI timestamps the criteria-aligned moments in every recording, so instructors spend their attention where it matters most.
Search the transcript
Jump to any keyword or moment across the recording and transcript instead of re-watching from the start.
Use Interaction Coach
Real-time talking points nudge students to examine their reasoning rather than restate what they produced.
Reflect on submitted work, or an open topic
Students talk through a draft, or a skill with no submission, so reflection fits any assignment type.
Run it in your LMS, on any device
No external tools, room bookings, or file transfers. Recordings are stored where the course already lives.

Frequently asked questions
What does Oral Reflection ask students to do?
Students record a criteria aligned spoken walkthrough of their own work or skills, in their own words, reflecting on their learning and progress. Learn more here
Can Oral Reflection run as a formative or graded activity?
Both. It can be set up as formative practice or as a graded activity, with teacher feedback by default, or swapped for a Peer Review style flow. Learn more here
How do instructors review Oral Reflection recordings efficiently at scale?
When instructors turn on Acai, our academic AI flags key moments in every recording, so instructors spend minutes reviewing instead of hours. With it off, instructors still have the full recording and transcript to review manually. Learn more here
Can instructors leave feedback on an Oral Reflection recording?
Yes. Instructors leave feedback the same way they would on other FeedbackFruits activities, through rubric scores and written comments tied to the overall submission. Acai highlights notable moments with timestamped links to help find the passages that matter; highlights are suggestions only and contain no judgment or score. Learn more here
Does a student need to reflect on a specific submitted assignment?
No. Students can reflect on a specific piece of submitted work, or record a standalone reflection, on any device with no specialist equipment. Learn more here
