Oral assessment for authorship and learning
Verify authorship through student explanation
VerbalCheck pairs written submissions with short AI-supported oral assessments so faculty can review what students can explain, how they defend their work, and where follow-up instruction or integrity review may be needed.
Available for LMS-connected institutions and standalone course use.
Assessment evidence VerbalCheck adds
Evidence of authorship in the student's own words
Students explain and defend submitted work so faculty can compare written output with oral understanding.
Oral assessment without the scheduling burden
Focused prompts make oral verification manageable across assignments, courses, and pilot cohorts.
Reviewable transcripts for grading and follow-up
Faculty and students can revisit responses, transcripts, and analysis after the assessment is complete.

The assessment problem
Written submissions no longer stand alone as evidence
Generative AI has made it harder to know whether a written submission reflects a student's own understanding. VerbalCheck responds by adding a short oral assessment layer, giving students a chance to explain their work and faculty a stronger basis for review.
Oral check
adds a direct explanation layer to written work
Faculty review
keeps final academic judgment with instructors
Student voice
gives students a chance to explain their reasoning
Choose the access path that fits your school
VerbalCheck works for institutions with an LMS and for faculty who need a direct standalone option for individual classes or courses.
Institution and LMS access
Launch VerbalCheck through an LTI-connected institution workflow when your school wants centralized setup and LMS alignment.
Solo standalone access
Let faculty create classes, invite students, run VerbalCheck activities, and review results even when no LMS is available.
From written submission to oral evidence
Students get a meaningful opportunity to explain their work, and faculty get the evidence they need to support learning, feedback, and integrity decisions.
Step 1
Connect the assignment
Faculty define the assignment goals so students know what thinking they should be ready to explain.
Step 2
Students explain their work
Students answer short guided prompts that surface understanding, reasoning, readiness, and communication skills.
Step 3
Review evidence and respond
Students can learn from analyzed responses while instructors use the results for feedback, support, and review.
