Conversation Types
Coral talks with students through roleplay scenarios, oral exams, and a 24/7 course-aware teaching assistant. There are three conversation types:
Roleplay
Practice real-world scenarios through conversation.
Coral plays a role and speaks with your students in realistic scenarios. You choose the setup — for example, a student pitches a startup while Coral plays a San Francisco–based investor.
Students practice in a low-pressure environment, receive instant feedback, and can be scored on how well they met the learning objectives you set.
