Viva

A fairer way to review work

Hear the thinking behind the work.

Viva helps teachers hold an evidence-led conversation with students about the essay already on the page.

Student reviewing an essay at a desk

A conversation, not a verdict.

Viva keeps the review focused on the student's reasoning and the evidence they can discuss.

Start with the work

The conversation is grounded in the submitted essay, not a guess about who wrote it.

Let students explain

Students can describe their ideas, evidence, and decisions in their own words.

Keep judgment human

Viva prepares evidence for review. The teacher remains responsible for every decision.

The student can show their thinking before an instructor reaches a conclusion.

Designed for fair academic conversations

The student stays part of the review.

The teacher prepares the essay and discussion points. The student gives informed consent, responds, and can review the conversation record.

Passage-linked prompts

A review record for the student

Teacher-controlled final report

Choose where to begin.

Students share an assignment first. Teachers select it and prepare the conversation.
