Assignment submissions : Online audio recording
Paul NichollsFinally 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!)

Yes, this works with Chrome - but you have to allow the microphone access twice. In addition to the Flash Player request (as per other browsers), Chrome will put a stealthy grey bar across the top of the page asking for access (or, if it has remembered a denial, a small icon at the right-hand side of the address bar, through which you can grant permission).
This is a reasonably recent change in Chrome to address a security issue. Unfortunately, its current implementation means that if you don't grant permission via the Chrome request, Flash Player thinks it has access but will not actually receive any audio.

We are using Moodle 2.5.2.
we're using Moodle 2.4.8, unfortunately the plugin doesn't seem to work. The error message is as follows:
Debug info:
Error code: unsupportedsubplugin
Stack trace:

We also have problems with some strings, but that's just a minor concern.
nice plug-in!
I have Moodle 2.6 and I can use it without problems in Firefox or Chrome, but in debug mode, I get a warning message and I don't know how to fix it:
filter_text() is deprecated, use format_text(), format_string() etc instead.•line 474 of /lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()

In IExplorer 10, the "Settings.." button of the player doesn't work... so it's possible students can't give the system permission to access the microphone.
Thanks for your work,
Maria

I have tried explorer, chrome and firefox. I have tried an older version of flash and the latest version of flash too.
I've just released version 1.1.2, which should fix this issue.
I think it should be ...mod/assign/locallib.php.
from...
require_once($CFG->dirroot . '/mod/assignment/locallib.php');
.. to ..
require_once($CFG->dirroot . '/mod/assign/locallib.php');
... as Boris said.
I don't know whether this is a general problem with the Assignment activity or with the audio, but everytime I try submitting a recording or a written assignment , it returns a blank page.
I use Moodle 2.6.2... how do I solve this?
