Secure student video applications. Hear the person behind the work.
Bring fresh, human-generated video into admissions and assessment. Ask applicants about their motivation, invite students to explain their reasoning, and connect each response to the right student record, consent and human-origin evidence.
For applications and verbal assessments, Conversations requires a new device-camera recording for each question. Keep responses in a private project, control reviewer access and connect the supporting evidence to your institution’s existing identity checks.

THE PROBLEM
A polished application does not tell you who is behind it.
AI-generated applications and coursework can hide a student’s own voice and understanding. Universities and schools need more than polished text: they need personal answers, explanations of the work and a secure record that reviewers can trace back to the submission.
THE SOLUTION
Ask them to explain. Keep the evidence.
Add structured video questions to admissions and assessment. Bring fresh responses, transcripts, consent and human-origin evidence into a private review workflow, linked to the student or application reference. Your team hears the answer and evaluates the supporting record.
USE CASES
Six ways to put student-generated video to work
Start with a clear purpose and a consistent brief. Choose the questions, submission requirements and review process that fit the activity—not a one-size-fits-all video request.
Auditions and applications
Collect performances, portfolio explanations and responses to application questions. Give every participant the same instructions and keep assessment decisions with your authorized reviewers.
Coursework and demonstrations
Let students explain a project, demonstrate a practical skill or reflect on their learning. Collect the course, assignment and student reference fields needed to organize the footage.
Video viva voce exams
Ask students to defend an argument, explain a method or discuss their submitted work. Fresh video answers give examiners evidence of understanding alongside the written assessment, with prompts and submission records kept together for private review.
Project presentations
Let students demonstrate the thinking behind a model, design or practical task. Collect the explanation alongside the work so reviewers have both the outcome and the reasoning.
Alumni stories
Invite graduates to describe where their course took them. A focused brief helps turn scattered memories into useful stories for prospective students and the wider community.
Video admissions
Go beyond an AI-polished personal statement. Ask applicants about their interests, experiences and motivation in their own words. Keep fresh video answers private and linked to the application, giving admissions teams a fuller picture of the student.
FEATURE SPOTLIGHT · VIDEO AUDITIONS
From a pile of submissions to a shortlist.
Give every applicant the same brief, collect their performance and supporting details, then organize the review. Spend less time chasing files and more time finding the talent.
- One branded call-out: give applicants a clear brief and a video form they can open on their phones.
- Context with every performance: collect school, instrument and category details alongside the video.
- A collection ready for adjudication: organize tagged submissions and bring reviewers into the configured audition workflow.
EXAMPLE IN PRACTICE
Example: Teaching hacks for online learning
Vloggi helped a southeast Asian charity to bring a distance learning concept to life. Talented teachers could submit micro lessons or teaching hacks via video, which could then be re-used by the charity to attract more talented teachers to the profession.

INDUSTRY TIPS
Tips for clear, confident student video submissions
Give everyone the same brief
Set out the question, recording length and details you need. A focused prompt helps students show their work clearly and gives reviewers consistent context.
Keep each submission connected
Collect course, school or category details with the video. Use labels and filters to organize footage for the right reviewers and keep the brief, answers and consent record together.
Make participation and privacy clear
Explain who will review the footage and how it may be reused. Keep assessment use separate from optional promotional use, with institutional approvals, guardian permissions where required, and appropriate access and retention settings.
CASE STUDIES
Education video submissions in practice
NSW Education Standards Authority
NESA uses Vloggi every year to collect and assess over 2,000 student auditions from 687 schools, selecting 22 students for a Sydney Opera House showcase.
NESA reports 70% less administration, with tagged submissions and adjudicator review replacing public video links and spreadsheets.
Milton Hershey School
The Pennsylvania school collected 1,000 alumni videos with Vloggi to celebrate 100 years of K–12 education. Former students shared their memories in their own words, bringing a century of school community stories together.
International School of Luxembourg
The ILS used Vloggi to collect alumni contributions from across the world. The school saw hundreds of videos over the course of a few weeks in the lead up to a long standing principal leaving the school.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Your student video questions, answered
Do students need to install an app?
No. Students follow your campaign link and record or upload directly in their browser—no app installation required.
Can we collect answers to several structured questions?
Yes. Vloggi’s Video Conversations lets you ask questions in video form and collect up to eight linked video responses. Guide learners through a project explanation, reflection or application, with each answer connected to its prompt.
Can several assessors review the same submissions?
Yes. Several assessors can review submissions using a configured panel-review and adjudicator-voting workflow, as demonstrated by NESA. We help set up the reviewer access and scoring requirements for your institution.
What file sizes and recording lengths are supported?
File-size and recording-length limits are configured for your collection and plan. We can help match them to your project, including long performances or high-resolution footage.
How does Vloggi collect video rights and consent?
Vloggi’s integrated consent and rights-assignment form collects acceptance during submission and keeps the record linked to each video. Your institution sets the intended use and configures the collection around its policies, including guardian permissions where required. Capture the permissions and rights assignment in the same workflow—without chasing separate release forms for every clip.
How does Vloggi help establish that student videos are authentic?
Vloggi connects prompted video capture with verification, submission records and chain of custody. Reviewers get student-generated video with traceable provenance, rather than a disconnected file with an unknown history. This evidence supports the review while educators apply their assessment criteria. Explore video verification.
Can a recorded viva prove identity or rule out AI assistance?
A viva adds evidence of a student’s understanding by asking them to explain their work. Fresh camera recordings and HOCS support human-origin review, but do not by themselves prove legal identity or rule out prepared answers or outside help. Combine them with your institution’s identity checks, assessment criteria and follow-up questions where needed.
How do we protect application and assessment videos?
Use private projects, authorized reviewer access and agreed retention arrangements. Keep consent and the submission reference linked to each answer, and configure webhook handoffs to the appropriate application record. Read our security and data overview.
