There are two main ways it can be used:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. An instructor can record a video or audio message directly<\/strong> onto the main page of a Moodle course, or into the instructions of a discussion forum, or even into the description field associated with a file.\u00a0Previously you would have to use some other software to make the recording, then upload it into Moodle; now no other software is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Are there things that come across better when seen or heard than when read?

Now the Assignment activity can also be used to collect video or audio recordings from students.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most obvious uses of this is to ask foreign language students to record themselves speaking in the target language, but be creative! A lab instructor could ask students to make a brief video showing the results of their procedure. Drama students could record a dramatic reading.
