AI Viva (beta): set a spoken viva for your class and read how it went
Set a viva in four steps. Each student answers a virtual teacher on their own, and you read every answer, its mark and what it missed.
Every screen in the films is the real product, shown on a demo school made for them.
A viva tells a teacher what a student really understands, but there is never time to hear every student one by one. AI Viva, currently in beta, lets each student answer a virtual teacher on their own, out loud, while the teacher reads the results afterwards.
The film sets a viva on Heredity for 10-A in four steps, explains why speaking alone helps students, and then opens one student's session question by question.

Good to know
Currently in beta
AI Viva is a beta feature. Read the sessions as you would any first check, and use your own judgement on a student's understanding.
Why speaking alone helps
No classmates are listening, so there is no fear of a wrong answer in front of the class. Students can think out loud and get used to explaining what they know.
A real session in the film
The session shown was asked and marked by the live model on a demo student's answers. The answers were typed in for the film, not spoken.
Questions
- Do students speak their answers in AI Viva?
- With a spoken viva, yes: the virtual teacher asks and the student answers out loud on their own dashboard.
- Can the questions adapt to the student?
- Yes. With Adaptive, the AI asks easier or harder questions depending on how the student answers.
- What does the teacher see after a viva?
- Who took it and the average, then each session's score and grade, and every answer with its mark and what it covered or missed.
