Moodle has an automatic video and audio recorder.  It is, however, limited to only two minutes.  You can follow the instructions below to use the Moodle editor and/or to use audio and video that were recorded in other ways.

Adding Audio Submissions

  1. Log in to Moodle: Access your Moodle account and navigate to the course where the assignment is located.
  2. Open the Assignment: Click on the assignment you need to submit.
  3. Add Submission: Click the "Add submission" button to open the online text editor.
  4. Record Audio:
    • Using the Moodle Editor: Click the microphone icon in the text editor toolbar. Follow the prompts to record your audio directly within Moodle.             
      • If it is your first time adding audio, your browser will ask permission to allow to use the microphone.  Click Allow. 
      • If you have previously denied access, you'll need to clear your browser cache to allow access. 
    • Uploading Audio File: If you have a pre-recorded audio file, click the "Insert media" button (usually represented by a filmstrip icon). Select "Audio" and upload your file from your device.
