Improving Teaching Effectiveness and Reducing Faculty Burnout with Heyeve

The Issue

The law faculty at “Oak Brook College of Law” was under growing pressure to expand experiential learning without compromising its caliber. Professors found it difficult to give individualized input on mock trials, judiciary interviews, and consulting roleplays due to growing class sizes and constrained schedules. Evaluations for students were frequently delayed, which prevented them from making significant progress between sessions.

Traditional in-person mock trials were not an option at Oak Brook College of Law, an online law school with a student body that is geographically dispersed and extremely diverse. It was unrealistic to expect students from different states and time zones to travel for one-day trial practices. The institution needed a technology-based solution that could provide top-notch legal education at any time and from any location.

The Solution

Heyeve was unveiled as an intelligent addition to the faculty’s instructional resources. Students were able to do courtroom simulations on their own with the help of the platform’s AI voice assistant while getting immediate, tailored feedback. In addition to receiving AI-generated performance statistics that highlight courtroom demeanor, legal reasoning, and speaking clarity, faculty could be assigned particular case types or situations.

The Outcome

At Oak Brook College of Law, a greater than 50% reduction in grading and feedback time was observed. After every session, students valued getting immediate, useful feedback. Instead of doing recurring assessments, faculty might now devote class time to targeted mentoring. Throughout the term, student performance improved steadily, and class involvement increased.

Conclusion

Heyeve was more than just a simulation tool; it was a teaching companion that enhanced student learning and reduced staff workload.
