Live from ASU+GSV with Melissa Morgan

from The Higher Ed Geek Podcast · host Enrollify

In this bonus episode recorded live at the ASU+GSV summit in San Diego, we spoke with Melissa Morgan, Co-Founder of Coraltalk, about rethinking student assessment in the age of AI. As written work becomes easier to generate with AI, they explore how spoken assessments—like oral defenses and real-time questioning—can better demonstrate true understanding, critical thinking, and authentic learning.  The conversation highlights how this moment is less about replacing traditional methods and more about evolving them—using AI to scale more personalized, human-centered approaches that help educators truly see, hear, and support their students.
