About the three modes
Content Assessment, Submission Verification, Mixed — what's the difference?▼
Content Assessment replaces a paper or quiz with an AI interview — your teacher writes the questions, you talk through what you know, that IS the assessment. Submission Verification works the old way: you submit a paper, then take a short AI interview about it to confirm you understand what you wrote. Mixed is both at once — paper plus interview, used for major assignments. Your teacher picks the mode per assignment.
Which mode am I in?▼
Look at your dashboard for the assignment. Content Assessment appears with a "Take assessment" button and no upload step. Submission Verification asks you to upload work first, then takes you to the interview after. Mixed starts with the upload, then the interview. If you're unsure, ask your teacher.
Will I get a video proctor?▼
Only on Content Assessment, and only if your teacher turns it on. The video proctor is intentionally narrow — it flags compound signals like "long pause + suddenly fluent reading" or "audio quality changes mid-answer." It does NOT flag eye-contact aversion, looking up while thinking, restarts, or brief glances at notes you wrote yourself. Your teacher always sees the recording, so if anything got flagged you don't agree with, ask to watch it together.
For Students
What is an AI interview?▼
A short conversation with an AI about the material. It asks questions, you answer in voice or text. In Content Assessment the interview IS the assessment. In Submission Verification, you submit a paper first and the interview is about what you wrote. Either way, think of it as explaining your work to a curious teacher — not a test you can fail.
How long does the interview take?▼
Most interviews take 15-30 minutes. You'll answer about 12 questions — a mix of open-ended questions where you explain your thinking and multiple-choice questions. Your teacher may set a time limit.
Can I use voice instead of typing?▼
Yes! Click the microphone button to speak your answer. Your speech will be transcribed to text. You can also hear questions read aloud by clicking the speaker icon. If your microphone isn't working, you can always type instead.
What if I lose internet during the interview?▼
Your progress is saved after each question. If you get disconnected, close your browser, or need to step away, you can come back later and choose to resume from where you left off.
Can I retake the interview?▼
Only if your teacher has enabled retries for that assignment. If retries are allowed, you'll see a "Retry Interview" button after completing your first attempt. You get one retry.
Who sees my interview results?▼
Your teacher always sees the full results. Whether you can see your own results depends on the rubric your teacher chose — some show full results, some show partial results, and some are teacher-only.
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?▼
Go to the login page and click "Forgot password?" Enter your email and we'll send you a reset link. Check your spam folder if you don't see it within a few minutes.
For Teachers
How do I set up my first class?▼
Go to My Classes → Create Class. Give it a name and set a Course ID and Password. Share these with your students so they can join. Then create an assignment, choose a rubric, and you're ready.
What are rubrics and how do I choose one?▼
Rubrics control what the AI interview focuses on. "Standard Authorship" verifies the student wrote the work. "Comprehension Defense" tests understanding. "Full Evaluation" does both. You can also create custom rubrics with specific question types.
What does a "flagged" interview mean?▼
The AI flags interviews where the student scored below 50 on authorship confidence. This is a signal for you to review — not a verdict. You can dismiss the flag, confirm concerns, request a re-interview, or refer to administration.
Can I add my own notes to results?▼
Yes. On any completed interview's submission page, you'll see an "Instructor Notes" section where you can add observations, grade decisions, or follow-up plans.
How do I import students from a roster?▼
On your class detail page, click "Import Roster (CSV)." Upload a CSV file with student emails (one per line, optionally with names). Students who don't have accounts will get one created automatically.
Can I export results?▼
Yes. On your class detail page, click "Export CSV" next to the Assignments header. This downloads a spreadsheet with all students, submissions, scores, flags, and your notes.
For Administrators
How do I create an organization?▼
Platform administrators can create organizations at Admin → Organizations → Create. Set the org name, branding colors, verification method (join code or email domain), and plan tier.
How do I invite teachers?▼
Go to Organization → Teachers and enter their email address. They'll receive an invitation to join. You can also share the organization join code — teachers enter it during signup.
Can I restrict who joins my organization?▼
Yes. In Organization → Settings, you can set the verification method to "Domain" and specify allowed email domains (e.g., @yourschool.edu). Only users with matching emails can join.
