Hi,
I faced problem in the quiz in moodle
there is audio that students must listen to and then answer MCQ
the audio added and then MCQ
however,
the control of the mp3 player is so difficult during the exam
when student scroll down, it stopped
some times the player start from beginning many times and not complete the audio
not all students faced this problem
is it moodle issue or is it connected to the internet or other issues
any help will appreciate it
Hello m,
Moodle automatically replaces the <audio> element with a player that does not seem to always work properly This replacement is difficult to circumvent.
Using a custom player was the only way to play an audio file before HTML5, which was only recently introduced (late 2014). Nowadays, in an ordinary web page, the <audio> element triggers a built-in HTML5 audio player that works well in most browsers with MP3, WAV and OGG files.
You may need to consider a workaround. You could use another javascript plug-in that works for you. There are many available on the Internet. Even use YouTube, if you think it's not an overkill.
Note to developers: If possible, I think Moodle should now let the <audio> element just function as per HTML5.

HTML5 audio player
In fact, we can easily foil Moodle and display the HTML5 player with a simple script:
<div id="divId"></div>
<script>
function functionPlayer() {
var x = document.createElement("AUDIO");
x.setAttribute("src", "https://xxxx/draftfile.php/5/user/draft/xxxx/audioFile.mp3");
x.setAttribute("controls", "controls");
document.getElementById("divId").appendChild(x);
}
window.onload = functionPlayer;
</script>
You will find an example here (where I will explain the code in the coming days):
In fact, it's very easy to change the default audio player from VideoJS player (Moodle's default) to the HTML5 audio player:
Note, however, that this change will apply to your entire Moodle site. If you want to keep VideoJS as the default player while using HTML5 audio in specific activities or resources, or if you do not have access to site administration, you can use the script I gave above.
Moodle 3.2 now comes with a default industry-leading media player - Video.js:
