How to use the Practice Oral Exam Tool.
Oral practice should test explanation and response to follow-up questions. Evaluate the supplied answer against the actual course criteria.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Choose the course topic and criteria, ask an opening explanation question and follow up on the learner's answer. Assess reasoning and missing connections, allowing the learner to clarify rather than scoring confidence alone.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Practice oral exam topic: how a simple circuit works. Provide an opening question and a conditional follow-up.
Completed example
Opening: "What roles do the power source, conducting path and load play in a simple closed circuit?" After the learner answers: "What changes when the conducting path is opened, and why?" Wait for each response and ask for clarification where needed instead of reading an answer before the learner tries.
Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.
Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should oral-exam practice reveal the full model answer immediately?
Let the learner attempt an explanation first, then use focused feedback and follow-up questions to expose gaps.
Why does a fluent answer still miss the course criterion?
Compare its content with the required explanation. Fluency does not establish that the relevant mechanism or evidence was addressed.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
