When AI can write the essay, can your student defend it?

AI-written assignments make it harder to know who actually understands the material. Oral verification helps you confirm real learning in high-stakes education environments.

The new risk

The new risk in higher education

AI tools make it easy for students to submit polished work that may not reflect their own thinking. Grading written documentation alone no longer proves authentic comprehension.

Undetected AI-generated essays and assignments

Limited visibility into individual student understanding

Difficulty proving academic integrity to accreditors

Faculty time consumed by suspected cheating investigations

How it works

How oral verification restores academic integrity

Academic integrity verification

Use structured oral assessments to confirm students can explain and defend their work in their own words.

Scalable oral exam administration

Standardize questions, timing, and scoring so instructors can run consistent oral exams across large cohorts.

Learning outcome assessment

Measure reasoning, explanation, and problem-solving skills that can't be validated by written documentation alone.

Compliance

Support policy, compliance, and accreditation

Oral verification gives institutions a concrete way to show that grades, credits, and credentials are based on verified student learning.

What educators are saying

“Oral verification has transformed how we assess learning. Students can't just submit AI-written work—they have to truly understand and defend their ideas. It's brought back the confidence we need in our grading.”
