Best for scenarios, negotiation practice, language conversation. Students engage in realistic role-based dialogues.
Best for quick video responses and peer replies. Similar to Flipgrid but with deeper engagement.
Scheduled exam sessions when your institution uses them. High-stakes assessments with optional proctoring features.

Review student work

Open an assignment to see submissions, AI evaluation, grades, and transcripts. Use filters for unwatched or by grade band.

Tips for success

Upload quality syllabus PDFs or docs — they power TA answers and oral context.
Run a test submission yourself with a personal email before assigning to a full class.
Watch usage alerts in the sidebar; purchase more minutes before high-stakes weeks if on a minute-based plan.
Spend 5 minutes customizing your TA’s voice, tone, and guardrails to match your teaching style.
