Why instructors are interested in SpeechGradebook Evaluation

Research-informed assessment

SpeechGradebook is built on a dissertation-informed framework focused on the assessment of learning outcomes in public speaking.

Instructor-in-the-loop workflow

AI-generated scoring and feedback are a starting point. Instructors review and edit evaluations before saving the official grade.

Visibility into growth over time

Structured rubrics, NCA-informed alignment when appropriate, and learning-outcome visibility help instructors and programs better understand communication growth over time.

Public Speaking in a Global Context, fifth edition

Created by a public speaking instructor and textbook coauthor

Anna McClure, Ph.D., coauthored Public Speaking in a Global Context (Macmillan Learning) and built SpeechGradebook from classroom and dissertation research on speech assessment.

In public speaking courses she taught as instructor of record, evaluations averaged 4.5/5 on feedback quality and support.

Built for more than generic AI feedback

SpeechGradebook Evaluation is designed to support structured speech assessment rather than open-ended chatbot feedback. The platform uses rubric-based AI support to analyze student recordings, while instructors remain responsible for reviewing and saving official evaluations.
