Private WEB Demo Walkthrough

The Private Demo is the best way to explore VivaEdu risk-free! You'll get a fully isolated environment with mock data where you can test all features as different user roles: Instructor, Student, Admin, and TA. While you can do demos from Blackboard Learn Ultra, Moodle, and Canvas, the web one is the easiest to access and test quickly.

How to start

Click the Start Private Demo button on the landing page. It will take you to the demo entry page below.

Demo Features

Role Switching

One of the most powerful features of the web demo is the ability to switch roles instantly:

1. Look for the demo control bar (typically at the bottom of the screen)
2. Click the role switcher dropdown
3. Select: Teacher, Student, TA, or Admin
4. The page refreshes and you're now in that role

Demo Timer

The demo control bar shows how much time remains in your session:

• Each demo lasts 2 hours with a live countdown and warnings. When it hits 0, you are logged out and the demo data is deleted.

What's Included in the Demo

As Instructor

• Pre-existing classes: View sample classes with enrolled students
• Create new vivas: Go through the entire 7-step creation wizard
• Sample submissions: Mock students have already completed some vivas - review them!
• Mock audio playback: Sample viva responses use Azure text-to-speech for realistic audio
• Full review workflow: Grade rubrics, add feedback, export results
• Student management: Set accommodations, grant extensions, view profiles

As Student

• Dashboard: See assigned vivas in various states
• Test viva: A permanent practice viva you can try anytime (no video stored)
• Take a viva: Go through the full student experience including preview, setup, and recording
• View submissions: See completed vivas with audio playback and transcripts
• Settings: Configure preferences and accommodations

As TA (Teaching Assistant)

• Review student transcripts, not video/audio recordings (read-only access to instructors' classes)
• View class rosters and student profiles with randomized character strings for students instead of their real names

As Admin

• Audit logs: View all logged actions within your demo tenant
• Note: This is not reflective of the full institutional Admin Console. For the real setup and admin guides, see Quick Start for Administrators. In the demo, you are mainly seeing audit logs for the sandbox.

Recommended Demo Flow

Demo Limitations

The demo is comprehensive, but has a few intentional limitations:

• No real LMS integration: LMS features are simulated (you can't connect to a real Blackboard/Moodle)
• Mock audio only: Pre-recorded viva responses use synthesized TTS voices
• No external emails: Email notifications are logged but not actually sent
• No persistent data: Everything is deleted after 2 hours
• Limited mock students: Only a handful of mock students are pre-populated
• No demo bubble overlap: While this used to be the case, you can no longer join other demo bubbles via class join.

After the Demo Expires

When your demo ends, you will be logged out and all sandbox data is permanently deleted. You can start a fresh demo any time from the landing page.
