For take-home assessment
RELAY Verify
When a student hands in take-home work, they also explain it: a short video walking through the how and the why, in their own words. That explanation becomes evidence that the understanding behind the work is genuinely theirs.
Work comes in. The question is what sits behind it.
Ask the student to explain it.
A student who can talk through their own reasoning, unprompted and in their own words, is showing you something a finished document cannot show on its own.
The flow
Four steps, added to what you already set.
The assessment itself does not change. Verify adds one step to how it is handed in.
The student completes the assessment
The essay, the presentation, the report. Set exactly as you set it now, with no change to the task.
They record a short explanation
As part of submitting, the student talks through how they approached it and why they made the choices they made, in their own words.
RELAY turns the recording into a transcript
The recording itself is kept as a record you can go back to. What gets read is the transcript of what the student said.
It is assessed against your outcomes and your rubric
Not a general-purpose model forming its own opinion. An evaluation built with your school, around the learning outcomes and marking criteria you already use, so what comes back is in your terms.
What makes it different
The evaluation is built with you, not bought off a shelf.
This is the part that decides whether a teacher trusts what comes back.
Your learning outcomes
The evaluation is written around the outcomes your faculty is actually teaching to, not a generic notion of what a good answer looks like.
Your marking rubric
Your criteria, your wording, your standards. Built during setup with your teachers, and adjusted as your rubric changes.
Your teachers decide
Verify produces evidence and an assessment against your criteria. The recording stays available, and the final judgement remains a teacher’s to make.
The recording is kept as a record your teachers can return to, and is never used to train a model. Full detail is on the data & privacy page. Further add-ons are scoped with your school through a consultation process.
Where it fits
Two halves of the same picture.
RELAY runs while the learning is happening. Verify comes in when the work is handed in. They answer different questions, and they are deliberately built to different rules.
Day to day
RELAY
Formative and ungraded. Students say what they haven’t understood yet without it costing them anything, and teachers see where the class is while the lesson can still change.
At submission
RELAY Verify
Summative and assessed. A student explains their finished work in their own words, and that explanation is evaluated against the outcomes and rubric your school set.
Currently built for take-home assessment.
Start a conversation
Built around your rubric, with your faculty.
Because the evaluation is built with your school, the first step is a conversation about what you assess and how you mark it.
