Coraltalk for Business Educators
Oral assessments and defence at scale
94% of students now use AI. Know who can defend their thinking.
Made specifically for business higher-ed courses.
Real assignments. Real oral follow-up.
Simply drop in your syllabus to get started.
Case analysis defence
Students explain and defend their recommendation — the same way they would in a live cold-call.
Peer to peer debate
Students engage in a video-based discussion with their peers to a topic you pose. AI-grading available.
Strategy memo defence
Students explain the evidence behind their proposed direction, not just the conclusion.
Presentation follow-up
Every student answers individualized questions after presenting — not just whoever fields the Q&A.
Reflection and participation
Turn your lecture into an instant oral check where students articulate what they learned in a case discussion and apply it to a new scenario.
Case Study Roleplay
Students take on a role inside the case — a client, a board member, a competitor — and think on their feet as Coral responds in character.
We integrate with:
“I love it because I get to speak to Coraltalk in a deeper way.”
- Sarah Ajekwe, MBA student, York University
“I use Coraltalk to understand the material in class more.”
- Tushar Sroya, MBA student, York University
“I need to hear how students reason. Coraltalk allows me to assess their thinking at scale — not just their ability to produce polished writing.”
- Moshe Mikanovsky, MBA Professor at YorkU
How it works
Upload the assignment and rubric. Teach online? We’ll use your lecture recording.
1
Drop in your case, model, memo, or presentation deck and grading rubric.
Students complete a short spoken conversation
2
A 5–8 minute voice conversation with Coral, on their own time. Oral defence or standalone.
You receive auto-summaries, transcripts, and optional scoring aligned to your rubric.
Coraltalk asks adaptive follow-up questions
3
You review and grade
4
Transcript, evidence, summary, and a suggested rubric-aligned score — you set the final grade.
Coraltalk suggests a score based on the rubric, but you always have the final say even before it’s sent to students.
Teach online/ Turn your recorded lectures into an oral check automatically - no separate assignment to build.
This doesn't add to your grading pile — it replaces part of it.
You're not sitting in on every conversation. Coral runs each oral follow-up, and you receive a transcript, cited evidence, a plain-language summary, and a suggested rubric-aligned score already waiting when you open your gradebook — you're reviewing, not conducting.
✓ Coral conducts every conversation — you review a ready-made summary, not raw audio.
✓ Rubric-aligned scoring is suggested automatically, aligned to your own rubric.
✓ You retain full control — accept, adjust, or overrule any suggested grade.
✓ Runs asynchronously — students complete it on their own time, no scheduling.

FAQs
-
Coraltalk uses adaptive follow-up questions to uncover how students arrive at their responses. Instead of polished writing or multiple-choice guessing, you hear each student explain their thinking step-by-step. The platform automatically generates transcripts, highlights key insights, and surfaces gaps in understanding — making it easier to evaluate critical thinking at scale.
-
No — it significantly reduces it. Coraltalk automates participation tracking, rubric-aligned scoring, and summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of each submission. Instead of reading dozens of discussion posts, you simply review a short insight dashboard and provide higher-value feedback where it matters most.
-
Students can participate orally at their own pace, in their own language, and in a low-pressure environment. This helps multilingual and less confident speakers express what they truly understand. You get a more accurate view of comprehension — not just writing skills — allowing you to personalize support for every student.
-
Spoken responses make AI-generated writing far less relevant, surfacing genuine thinking. We also offer personalized and hybrid exam types, meaning the questions Coral asks are personalized based on the students written component.
-
Yes. You can customize criteria and scoring.
-
Recordings and transcripts are encrypted in transit and at rest. Coraltalk is SOC 2 compliant, and a HECVAT is available for your IT and security review.
-
Yes — Coraltalk scales oral-based evaluation across hundreds of students.
-
Start with a single-assignment pilot, no student fees. If you like it, your students can cover the cost they would for a textbook or you can use department funding.
-
Most schools run a 2–3 month security review regardless of how ready you are to start. We work directly with your IT team and provide documentation up front so it doesn't stall your pilot.
Give students the opportunity to articulate real understanding — beyond essays, quizzes, and AI-generated writing.
👉 15 minutes, no commitment. We'll show you what a pilot in your course would look like.
