Class time is not enough

With 30 students and 50 minutes, most learners get too few speaking reps.

Level up your curriculum with Assignments

Ovation's Assignment feature, exclusive to organization subscribers, makes speaking practice easier to structure, distribute, and review. Instructors create a task around a course goal, students complete it in the VR or Web app, and each session produces feedback and progress data.

For VR labs, libraries, and shared tech spaces

Ovation works wherever students practice: VR labs, libraries, shared headsets, or their own desktops. Educators can assign sessions once, and students can complete them without extra setup.

Easy access on student devices with the Web App and Desktop App

Students can practice with Ovation on their own computers when a headset is unavailable or VR is not needed.

Practice outside lab hours
Students can rehearse between classes, at home, or wherever they have access to a computer.
Assignments that fit student schedules
Give students time to prepare and repeat sessions without booking a headset or lab space.
A complement to VR labs
Labs can reserve the VR App for immersive sessions while the Web App and Desktop App support preparation, repetition, and follow-up practice.

Peer roleplay can be useful, but it depends on partner availability, comfort, and consistency. Ovation gives each student repeatable speaking practice with responsive avatars, clear parameters, and feedback after every session.

Each session produces a transcript, audio, speaking metrics such as filler words and pace, and AI-generated feedback. You can track participation, completion, and improvement across students over time.
