Guides for teachers running eVivas, and the documents a school needs before adopting one. Everything here is free to read and free to share with a colleague.
The two things a teacher does in their first week.
Setting the questions, choosing prep and response times, attaching referenced work, and sending the links to a class.
In preparationWorking through the review queue, writing feedback, recording the Understanding judgement, and returning it to the student.
In preparationWritten for the questions teachers actually ask once they have run a set and are deciding what to change.
Why questions about the pupil’s own submitted work outperform recall questions, with worked examples across subjects.
In preparationExtra time, audio-only responses, and pre-set retakes. What eViva records, and the reason for a provision that it deliberately never holds.
In preparationAsking one pupil a second question about an answer they have already given, and when that is fairer than re-running the whole thing.
In preparationWhat a head of department, a DPO, or a procurement panel asks for. All of it is published, and none of it needs a sales call.
A short brief for the colleague who has to explain why the department is running oral defences at all.
In preparationThe documents a data protection officer asks for are published in full on the compliance page: the data protection impact assessment, the processor agreement, the privacy notice, and the list of sub-processors. No sales contact is needed to read any of them.
If you needed a guide that is not here, say so and it will be written. Email support@eviva.tech or use the contact form. Requests from teachers using eViva in a live classroom go to the front of the queue.
