A patient, a shop owner, a non-technical client. The AI knows things the student doesn’t, and the student has to find them out by asking; when the conversation ends, the AI gives feedback based on the rubric. No sign-in needed: spend a few minutes trying it as a student.
Patient interviews, ordering food and requirements interviews only improve by actually speaking, yet class time lets only a few students take a turn.
Standardized patients, foreign shop owners and industry clients are hard to bring in, and even harder to have every student practise with repeatedly.
It answers whatever students ask and does whatever they request, so they never practise drawing out information or handling situations themselves.
The teacher sets who the character is, their personality and how they speak: a nervous patient, a blunt shop owner, a client who knows nothing about tech.
For example, an unmentioned medical history or a dish that’s sold out today. It only comes up when the student asks or runs into it; the AI won’t volunteer it, and won’t do the student’s job for them.
When the conversation ends, the AI scores and comments on each criterion of the teacher’s rubric; the teacher can review and change the scores.
| Ordinary AI chat | Scenario Tasks | |
|---|---|---|
| Who the AI is | A general-purpose assistant | A specific character set by the teacher |
| Information | Answers everything, all at once | Holds hidden information and reveals it only when asked |
| Does it do the work for students? | Gives the answer or writes the code outright | Won’t do what the student is supposed to do |
| Assessment | None | Scores and comments against the rubric; teachers can review |
| Course integration | None | Appears in the Assignments Overview, can have a deadline, grades go to the Gradebook |
| Outsourced answers | No way to tell | The progress page flags signs of outsourced answers for the teacher’s reference |
A scenario pack fills in the role, the situation, and the rubric at once; every field can then be changed to fit your course.
For example, an allergy the patient didn’t mention, or a dish that has sold out today. It only comes up when the student asks, so the conversation shows how well they asked.
The task appears in the course’s Assignments Overview. The AI scores it against the rubric; teachers can review and adjust each score, and grades go into the Gradebook.
Every scenario task has the same fields; only the content changes. Foreign-language conversation, counselling interviews, sales meetings, news interviews, and customer service can all be written as scenarios with the same form.
Students just join the course with a Uedu account; scenario tasks the teacher assigns appear in the course’s Assignments Overview.
AI feedback is suited to everyday practice, not to grading formal exams; in real tasks, teachers can review every score the AI gives. You can also set a task to be graded by the teacher only.
It can’t be fully prevented. The progress page flags “signs of outsourced answers” based on typing and pasting behaviour; these are for the teacher’s reference only and don’t affect scores.
The interface, scenario descriptions, rubric items and feedback support all 16 platform languages; the AI replies in the student’s language, except in the Chinese-language scenario, where it speaks only Chinese by design. Teachers can also write their own scenarios in any language.
This is a framework example with a fictional case; for actual teaching, clinical faculty should rewrite it to fit their learning goals. It is meant for regular practice, not as a basis for grading OSCEs or other formal exams.
Trial conversations are saved to improve the platform and for education research analysis. If you are not signed in, your identity is not recorded; if you are, the conversation is linked to your account. Conversations are never made public. We also count page views and button clicks (without recording IP addresses) to learn whether this page helps teachers.
Pick a scenario to begin. At the end you’ll see the AI’s rubric-based feedback and the hidden information the AI was holding.
