Publisher: publish tasks
Oral Console publishers publish speaking tasks / exams and review History.
Audience: Oral Console publishers · Applies to: Oral Console
Goal: Publish a speaking task or speaking exam, then review completion in History by student identity.
Sign-in: How to use Oral Console. After website signup, switch to Publisher in the header (not the App teacher). After production + sign-in mint you cannot sign in to the Console; publish and review History in the school system. See Two formal embed methods.
Before you start
- Signed in as Publisher.
- Trial tenant plan includes tasks (Class or above). Default is often Exam.
Where in the UI
Sidebar: Home / Assignments / History / Usage / Me. Appearance and language are in Settings (gear). Home primary CTA is Assignments. No Practice, Exams, or How to embed — those are not the publisher’s daily job. The Assignments page usually offers buttons to assign a speaking task or speaking exam (UI wins).
Steps
- Tap Assignments or the sidebar Assignments item.
- Create and publish a task or exam (fields follow the UI).
- Switch to Learner and open My assignments / Exam to confirm the new item appears.
- Switch back to Publisher History and review completion by student id (demo environment).
- Use Usage for this tenant’s consumption if needed.
Mapping to production
Console “review History by student id” maps to production as: both embed paths can look up a person — Sign-in mint uses external user id; Page widget uses a roster learner (learner-code session). Writing back to your LMS gradebook is simplest with the same id on mint; widget needs student-number mapping or export. See How to get exam scores and view records and Two formal embed methods.
How to confirm success
- The new task or exam appears in the published list.
- After switching to Learner, the same title opens.
- History shows the completion list / result (UI wins).
