Bring Real-World Communication Practice Into Online Learning

Ovation helps students and professionals build confidence and strengthen communication skills through realistic, AI-powered practice. Learners rehearse presentations, interviews, and challenging conversations with responsive AI avatars and personalized feedback. Available on the web and in VR, Ovation lets students practice in a browser without a download or headset.

The software brings structured communication practice into online courses. Educators can create assignments around learning objectives, and students can practice independently, receive feedback, and try again. Instructors can review participation, transcripts, recordings, and progress to identify where additional coaching would help.
