The future of assessment is human-centered.
AI-irrelevant by design. Restore credibility to grading without adding to your workload. From journals and short essays to oral exams and quizzes, Rhetorix Lab adapts to your course.
What students submit is no longer proof of what they know.
Today, AI makes it easy to submit an assignment without learning a thing. What instructors need isn’t more plagiarism detection. They need a way to restore credibility, confirm real understanding, and strengthen student skills.
- 88% of instructors are concerned about AI in student work
- 55% expect cheating to get worse
- 67% worry students aren’t really learning
- Detection tools alone aren’t enough
-
Polished ≠ Proficiency
High-quality submissions no longer guarantee real understanding.
-
Trust Is Breaking
It’s increasingly unclear who, or what, did the work.
-
Instructor Time Is Finite
Grading demands keep rising, but instructor time does not.
-
Critical Thinking at Risk
Overreliance on AI reduces opportunities for students to reason independently.
More than video. Built for assessment.
We support the full assessment workflow, including question delivery, video capture, and grading.

Prepared, not Prompted
Adaptable Question Delivery

Structured Grading
Instructor-Centered
Review responses on your own time with our structured dashboard. Use transcripts, variable playback speed, and rubric-based scoring to grade fairly and efficiently.
Adaptable question delivery
Rhetorix Lab adapts to your pedagogy. Choose Spontaneous Mode for low-stakes checks or oral exams where students answer immediately, or Open Mode for prepared speeches and presentations.
You define the time limits, retake policies, and preparation time, ensuring the assessment matches your learning objectives.
