| Abstract: | Interactive online oral assessment is an assessment method aimed at offering students engaging and authentic learning experiences. The study reported on preservice teacher perceptions of completing this type of assessment in an initial teacher education course at one particular Australian university. Sixty participants responded to an online survey comprising questions concerning their viewpoints about preparation, employability, and readiness for an interactive online oral assessment. A focus group interview with four students were also conducted to glean further information that might not have been yielded from the online survey. Findings revealed that preservice teachers endorsed the assessment as providing a real-life experience example, and it assisted in enhancing their communication and professional skill development. Three challenges were put forward which were anxiety and nervousness, time constraints, and technology issues during the assessment. While these findings are course specific, they provide future direction for further research into the use of interactive online oral assessment in education faculties and other university schools.
