FOR HIGH SCHOOLS

Students get reps. Teachers get data. Something to show at term-end.

Elqo is assessment infrastructure for oral communication. Students complete structured practice mapped to your syllabus, teachers see exactly where each student is — without sitting through every presentation, and without creating more marking.

THE ORAL ASSESSMENT PROBLEM

Oral assessment is hard to scale, hard to standardise, and hard to defend at audit.

Most schools settle for one annual presentation per student because anything more creates more marking, more marker variance, and not much more audit-ready evidence. Elqo is the assessment-infrastructure layer underneath: every student gets reps mapped to your syllabus, teachers get a standardised first-pass score they spot-check, and HoDs walk into faculty review with per-student progression data instead of attendance lists.

01

Are students hitting the curriculum outcomes for this stage?

02

Who needs intervention before the next assessment?

03

What can I show at term-end and at audit?

DECISIONS, NOT DASHBOARDS

Per-student progression mapped to your syllabus — without the marking pile.

Baseline-to-current scores per student, per class, per outcome. Recommended actions baked in, so the answer to “who needs intervention before assessment” is one click away — not three weekends of marking.

HOW IT STACKS UP

The only oral-assessment tool that doesn't add to the marking pile.

Most schools choose between “one big presentation per year” and “more presentations = more marking.” Elqo is the assessment-infrastructure layer that gives every student reps, every teacher consistent first-pass scoring, and every HoD audit-ready evidence at term-end.

WHY ELQO

Assessment infrastructure for English and oral communication.

“Are students hitting outcomes?”

Per-student progression mapped to NESA, ACARA, IB, or your school's scope-and-sequence. Outcome-by-outcome, week-by-week. The data your registration body is going to ask for anyway.

“Who needs intervention?”

Every student gets a mark for assessment / schedule re-attempt / refer to support recommendation. Catch the kids drifting before the formal task, not after.

“What can I show at audit?”

Exportable term reports tied to syllabus outcomes. Drops into a faculty review, board pack, or AISNSW/ACARA audit without rework.

Standardises across teachers

Same rubric, same first-pass scoring, no marker variance. Moderation sessions go from re-marking to spot-checking. Your HoD finally gets defensible cross-class comparison.

No extra marking work

Elqo runs first-pass scoring against your rubric. Teachers spot-check and confirm rather than mark every recording end-to-end. Pilot teachers report ~6 hours/week saved.

Privacy-first for under-18s

COPPA-aware, parental consent workflow, optional parent visibility, AU data residency for AU schools, role-based access for HoD vs teacher. Built so your IT and child-safety officers say yes.

SECURITY & UNDER-18 PRIVACY

Built so your IT and child-safety officers say yes.

Privacy-first under-18 data handling, parental consent workflow, and admin controls designed alongside the IT and child-safety teams of our pilot schools. Recordings and transcripts are encrypted in transit and at rest, never used for model training.

The questions HoDs and curriculum coordinators actually ask.

An audit-ready term report: every student's baseline performance, delta after the term, mapped to your syllabus outcomes (NESA, ACARA, IB, or your own rubric), with per-student recommendations (mark for assessment, schedule re-attempt, refer to support). Drops into a faculty review or audit pack without rework.

No. Elqo supplements in-class presentations and oral exams — students get the practice reps and standardised feedback Elqo handles, then teachers spot-check, moderate, and confirm grades for assessment-of-record. Total marking time goes down, not up.

Custom rubrics are built against your syllabus outcomes (NESA Stage 5/6 English, ACARA cross-curriculum, IB MYP/DP, or your school's own scope-and-sequence). Performance data ties directly to outcomes you already report on at term-end and at audit.

Yes. Elqo is built privacy-first for under-18s. COPPA-aware data handling, configurable data residency (AU schools default to AU), built-in parental consent workflow, optional parent visibility, role-based access, and full audit logs. Recordings and transcripts are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never train models on student data.

Pilot teachers report approximately 6 hours per week saved on oral assessment. Elqo runs first-pass scoring against your rubric so teachers spot-check and moderate rather than mark every recording end-to-end. The bigger win is consistency — fewer marker-variance arguments at moderation.

Yes. Elqo is browser-based and runs on Chromebooks, iPads, Windows, Mac, and any modern student device. SSO via Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft 365, and Clever is supported.
