AI interactive oral assessments
for Public Universities
Most quality interventions cost academic time.
This one returns it.
One change. Three pressures relieved.
Operating margins. Learning quality. Academic integrity.
-
With revenue capped at both ends, and CGS no longer keeping pace with cost-to-serve, the cost base is rising faster than the funding envelope.
Amid restructuring, academic time is becoming the scarcest resource on every campus.
Leveraging AI to do some heavy lifting of assessment and feedback can lower costs and free academics to invest more time in highest-value personal interaction with students.
-
Interactive oral exercises and assessments lift both the quality and the integrity of what students are tested on — shifting the basis of grading from artefacts to demonstrated, individual understanding.
Done at scale, it redirects academic time away from invigilation and grading mechanics and back into teaching, feedback, and the personal interaction that defines a strong learning experience.
And it lets the institution achieve that uplift well ahead of TEQSA’s end-of-2026 deadline, rather than retrofitting an answer once it arrives.
-
- More in-person vivas - burns academic time you don't have.
- More invigilation - burns academic time you don't have.
- Re-designed assessment approaches - burns academic time you don't have.
Assurar is the inverse of that trade-off. A quality intervention that returns academic time rather than spending it. A disproportionate return on a learning and assessment change that can be retrofitted to your existing assessment approaches to elevate assurance of learning for both Lane 1 & 2 assessments.
To address TEQSA’s Threshold Standards in the presence of AI, automated interactive oral assessment is a uniquely powerful answer.
The only modality that materially closes the AI-assisted cheating gap without adding hours of academic time per student.
Live video interactive oral conversations
For a fraction of the cost of in-person examiner viva voce
A single human oral assessment takes 30–60 minutes per student to organise, conduct and grade. $50-120 each.
At scale, it’s costly.
Assurar can conduct thousands of oral sessions each week for a few dollars each - freeing educators to spend their time on feedback, mentoring, and the one-to-one interactions that actually change outcomes.
Elevate learning
Build the human skills
needed in an AI world
Every interactive oral practice and assessment requires a student to organise their thinking, articulate it clearly, and respond to questions they haven't seen before.
Across a study course, that compounds into something no written exam develops - fluency in verbal reasoning, professional communication, and intellectual confidence.
Built on established assessment science
Using the same pedagogy as your curricula
Every word spoken in an Assurar session is captured: real-time speech-to-text transcription with timestamps, paired with a full video recording stored for as long as you need.
Educators review and approve AI-suggested grades and feedback against the actual transcript. If a student appeals or an auditor asks for evidence, the complete record is there - no reconstruction, no reliance on examiner notes, no gaps.
Stored in your cloud, in your country.
No sharing student data or work with the public LLMs.
Full audit trail and strong data governance
Every session retains the transcript and video recording according to your data security standards
Bloom's Taxonomy: Each question type targets a specific cognitive level - from recall through to evaluation
Kane's Validity Framework: Every grade has an auditable evidence chain from student response to learning objective
Hattie & Timperley Feedback Framework: Every student receives structured feedback: feed-up (what was expected), feed-back (how they performed), feed-forward (what to improve)
Structured Oral Exam Research: use unstructured unique exams, or apply the same structured exam for every student - more reliable than traditional vivas
