Simple for tutors.
Meaningful for learners.
Practical for assessment.
Viva Vocina fits into existing teaching and assessment workflows, giving tutors an efficient way to add an oral check of understanding to submitted work.
A simple process from submission to review
1. Tutors create a course
Tutors set up a course in the platform and share the course link with students.
2. Students upload their work
Students access the course, upload their submitted work, and begin their oral assessment.
3. Viva Vocina generates tailored questions
Using the uploaded work, Viva Vocina creates questions based on the content and level of the submission. These questions are designed to explore understanding of ideas, sources, reasoning, decisions, and application.
4. Students complete the conversation
Students respond to the oral questions directly in the platform, creating a structured spoken record of their understanding.
5. Tutors review the results
Tutors can then review the outputs in the platform, including audio, transcripts, AI-generated feedback, and an assessment of student understanding.
Clear outputs for review and decision-making
After a student completes their assessment, tutors can access:
the audio recording
a full transcript
AI-generated feedback
an assessment of student understanding
an understanding score, currently shown on a scale from 1 to 10
These outputs give tutors another lens on student learning and can support feedback, review, moderation, and next-step decisions.
A more complete picture of learner understanding
Because Viva Vocina generates questions from the student’s own submission, the conversation stays relevant and specific.
Questions may explore:
the main ideas in the work
how sources or evidence were used
why particular decisions were made
the reasoning behind conclusions
how concepts could be applied in a different context
what the student would change, refine, or build on
This allows educators to assess more than surface completion. It helps them hear how well learners can explain, interpret, and apply their work.
Where Viva Vocina adds value
Support for academic integrity through understanding
Viva Vocina is designed to check learner understanding of submitted work through conversation. It does not rely on AI detection. Instead, it supports a stronger assessment process by asking whether the learner can explain and discuss what they have submitted.
Interactive oral assessment
Use Viva Vocina as an oral assessment activity where spoken responses are a central part of how understanding is demonstrated.
Follow-up on coursework
Add Viva Vocina after key assignments to create a structured conversational checkpoint before marking, moderation, or final review.
Parallel assessment
Use Viva Vocina alongside written work, projects, or portfolios to check whether learners can explain and stand behind their submission.
Learning outcome checks
Use the conversation to explore whether students can apply concepts, justify decisions, and discuss what they have learned.
Conversation can reveal things a finished submission alone cannot
When learners are asked to explain their ideas, justify decisions, and respond to questions, they make their thinking more visible. This is one reason dialogic approaches are so valuable in education: they support learners to clarify understanding, reflect on their reasoning, and connect knowledge more actively.
That makes conversation useful not only for checking learning, but for supporting it. A spoken response can show where understanding is strong, where it is still developing, and where further teaching or feedback may be needed.
Viva Vocina brings this dialogic value into assessment by giving learners a structured opportunity to talk through the work they have submitted.
