New Features

New features coming to Absorb Aura including Aura Rehearse, Rehearsal reporting, and credit usage insights for Rehearsals. 

 

Aura Rehearse

With Aura Rehearse, Learners practice a real conversation with an AI persona, like a customer call or a job interview. When they end it, Rehearse scores the attempt against your rubric and gives written feedback. Add a Rehearsal to any Online Course. It works in the Absorb Learning Mobile App too when Learners are online.

If someone disagrees with a score, they can request a manual review, once per attempt. You choose who receives requests. Reviewers open the attempt from the email, read the conversation and confirm or adjust the score.

Rehearsal Reports

The new Rehearsals report shows attempts, passes, fails, average score and average time for each Rehearsal. Open one to see each person's attempts and scores. Access comes with the new Rehearsals permission, which is on by default for System Admin, Admin and Reporter roles.

Credit Usage for Rehearsals

Aura Rehearse uses Aura credits, which are consumed for each completed attempt. Text-only Rehearsals consume 10 credits per completed attempt, while voice Rehearsals consume 20 credits per completed attempt. Admins can monitor Rehearsal credit usage from the new Rehearsals tile on the Credit Usage screen, or by adding the Credit Usage - Rehearsals widget to the Admin Hub.
