In this workshop, we’ll explore how VoiceThread can bring some of the best parts of an oral exam into an asynchronous, scalable format. Faculty are turning to oral assessment to get beyond AI-generated work and hear how students actually think. The challenges are time and scale. With VoiceThread, students can record themselves working through a problem, explaining their thinking, and responding to follow-up questions from peers or instructors.
