The Problem, Quantified
AI detection is not reliable enough for high stakes decisions.
Staff are stuck between slow panels, inconsistent informal viva checks, and fear of getting it wrong.
VivaEdu makes verification fast, consistent, and defensible, without scheduling or proctoring.

When thinking is outsourced, graduates end up with credentials they can't defend. Assessment must verify understanding, not just output. Full Problem Statement
Our solution: Scalable Oral Assessments
Restore confidence in assessment. Verify what is actually understood.
Step 0
Add VivaEdu to your LMS in seconds
Select VivaEdu from your LMS content tools. Choose between routine Q&A vivas for whole cohorts or targeted verification for individual submissions.
Works with Blackboard Learn Ultra, Canvas, and Moodle via LTI 1.3.
Step 1
Create questions in minutes
Build a viva and attach it to any assignment. Flag individual submissions or assign to entire cohorts upfront.
Works inside your LMS. No curriculum changes required.
Step 2
Responses are recorded in their own time
Brief recordings, flexible deadlines. No live scheduling required.
You control every question. Add video prompts, attach context, configure follow-ups.
Accessibility accommodations available: extra time, pause/resume, typing alternative.
Step 3
Review and verify in minutes
Watch recordings or scan transcripts. Transcript reviews can take under a minute per student.
Results sync back to your LMS. No extra systems to manage.
Designed for students, not against them
Prep time before every question. Open notes. No live pressure. This tests understanding, not memorization.
Open notes, open materials
Not a memory test. Their own submission and any context provided can be referenced and viewed during the viva if configured.
What we're testing
Can they explain their own reasoning? That's the question AI can't answer.
