You can embed an audio/video recording of your feedback (up to five minutes) in the editor as you grade attempts. The recording option appears in the feedback editor for most graded items in your course. Recordings are not yet supported by rubrics. The audio and video feedback tool is supported in both Original and Ultra courses.

This function isn't supported on all browsers. For the best experience, use Chrome or Firefox.
NOTE: The feedback tool will support captioning, including languages, as of September 2023.

  4. A panel will open.
    1. If you want to use video, select the camera icon on the recording interface to enable your camera.
    2. If you only want to use audio, leave the camera disabled and the tool will only record audio.

  5. Set up your microphone and/or camera.

    You can make a recording up to five minutes long.

    1. Select Pause recording to stop and resume recording your feedback or select Stop recording to review the recording and save or discard.
    2. You can delete the recording and start over if you want to re-record.
  7. Review your recording and select Save and exit if you're satisfied and want to share it with the student. The recording is automatically inserted in the editor.



 Renaming the Recording

You may rename the recording's display name and add alternative text to make it accessible to all users. The system uses the recording time and date for these fields by default.

  1. Select the recording in the editor.
  2. Click Insert/Edit Recording again in the menu.
  3. Edit the display name and alternative text. 

 What Students See

Students can access the recording with grade details and any other feedback you leave. The recordings stream to the student's device and don't require them to download anything. Recordings can be played on most modern browsers without any additional plugins or extensions. Students can't download or save the recordings.


 How Recordings Behave
  • When copying a course, recording files and associations are both copied to the new course. 
  • Recording files are not included in course archives or backups.
  • Feedback recordings are unique to each student's submission. 
  • You can't download, share, or reuse recordings created in the feedback editor.
