Audio and Video Feedback
You can embed audio and video recordings with your feedback as you grade attempts. Students watch or listen to your feedback alongside any text you include.
Recordings can help you connect with students in courses with little to no face time. When paired with text feedback, video and audio recordings can help provide students with useful, actionable, and more personal feedback regarding their submissions. You can find the recording option in the editor of the Feedback area for graded items in both course views.
Audio and Video Feedback in Original Course View
You can add audio and video feedback from the typical grading workflow when viewing a specific attempt. In the grading sidebar, click the down arrow to expand the panel. Click the text editor icon represented by the letter A at the bottom of the Feedback to Learner box to access additional formatting controls, including the recording tool.
In the full text editor, click the Add Content button in the last row (it looks like a plus + sign in a circle). Select Insert from Webcam from the pop-up window.
You will need to give the browser permission to use audio and video the first time you open the recording window. In the recording window, select the camera icon if you wish to enable your camera. Without the camera enabled, the tool only records audio.
Click the red button to begin recording and wait for the countdown. Your recording can be up to five minutes long.
Click the Stop Recording button when you are done to save or discard. Click Save and exit if you are satisfied and want to share it with the student. Add additional text feedback if you want and then save the feedback panel by clicking the Save button.
