Illustration of conversational learning with ConvoEd

Improve Learning Through Conversations

Conduct conversational activities such as vivas on student work, oral assessments, and guided learning conversations for your whole class with AI support.

ConvoEd acts as your teaching assistant, conducting conversational learning activities with students based on your instructions. You define the activity and set the goals; ConvoEd runs each session and brings back the insights.

Multilingual learners can use their native-language strengths instead of being limited to English-only explanations.

How teachers use ConvoEd

ConvoEd conducts the conversation on your behalf. You set the activity and the goals. It runs each session and brings back the insights.

Viva on student work

Assign a viva to your whole class. ConvoEd reads each student's submission (code, writing, or other work) and conducts a focused voice dialogue, probing understanding and asking follow-up questions grounded in the actual artifact.

You assign the activity.

Share the submission with ConvoEd and set the scope: which concepts or criteria you want probed.

Each student completes a voice session.

ConvoEd opens the dialogue by referencing the student's specific work, then asks questions that go deeper based on their responses.

You receive a per-student summary.

ConvoEd flags areas of shallow reasoning or confusion so you know exactly where to follow up.

What students say about ConvoEd

The questions the bot asked often made sure I understood the material fully and was able to point out areas where I was incorrect, which I thought was helpful because I received immediate feedback. I also liked that I was able to talk about my thought process, and I think talking about it would really help the material stick in my brain.

I really like the fact that bot had my code and was asking probing questions about it, which I thought was really well done. The assistant was very polite, and very patient.

What makes it work

Conversational activities at class scale, learner profiles from every session, and summaries you can act on.

Voice or text, your choice

Voice conversation

Students speak naturally and ConvoEd listens, responds, and adapts. Best for vivas, oral assessments, and practice activities where spoken explanation matters.

Text conversation

Students type their responses. Same conversational depth and adaptive follow-up, in a text format. Useful where voice is not practical.

Conversation-based activities
Students explain and reason through conversation for vivas, oral checks, and Socratic practice you could never run one-on-one for a whole class.
Native language strengths first
Multilingual learners can explain and wrestle with ideas in the language they know best. English scaffolding still appears in context when it helps, but competency is not defined solely by English-only responses.
Profiles grounded in dialogue
Each learner builds a profile from conversational evidence: misconceptions, strengths, and how they explain concepts aloud, growing across every activity you assign.
Teacher-ready insights
Actionable summaries highlight who needs follow-up, which ideas are fragile after oral assessment, and how conversational data complements written work, so you intervene with confidence.
