Online audio recording
Finally putting an end to the need for a streaming server (or a Java applet) to allow students to record audio clips for Moodle assignments, the Online Audio Recording assignment uses Flash (10.1+) to record audio from a microphone, convert it to MP3 format and upload it to Moodle via HTTP POST.
INSTALLATION:
- Place the "onlineaudio" directory within your_moodle_install/mod/assign/submission/
- Visit the admin notifications page and complete the installation
- Done!
USAGE (teacher):
- As a teacher, create (or edit) an assignment
- Under "Submission settings", set "Online audio recording" to "Yes" and choose the maximum number of recordings
- Save the assignment
USAGE (student):
- In the assignment submission, find the "Online audio recording" section
- If you haven't used it before, you may need to allow access to your microphone
- Click the red circle button to begin recording
- Click the blue square button (or the red circle button again) to stop recording
- Enter a file name and click "Save"
- Wait for it to state that it's "Ready to upload" and click the "Upload" button
Online Audio Recording (assignment type for old mod_assignment)
Record Audio (repository plugin - record audio anywhere you can upload a file!)
Olivier, you'll need to turn debug output on and turn up the debug level until you get a message instead of a blank page. If the error message isn't enough to help you work it out, feel free to either post in the forums or send me a private message with the details.

Do you know a workaround - or any idea?
Thanks a lot!
PS: again i created a german language file for the 2.3 Online audio recording: http://download.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de/media/HRZ/elc/Moodle/assignsubmission_onlineaudio.php
It could be integrated in the next version...

The two can coexist - and, in fact, it might be necessary to have both in order to successfully migrate existing questions from the old plugin to the new one (I'm not sure, as I haven't tried doing it without having both installed).

However, in my opinion the file naming step is redundant and it would be good if we could get rid of this step.
Is the flash recorder (recorder.swf) open source itself? If I could have access to its source code I might try to modify it in my desired way.
Thanks again
