Use Cases
Assessing Student Speaking
Without audio or video recording, it's often impractical for teachers to evaluate a student's oral responses. Recorded audio and video questions allow asynchronous assessment of student speaking, allowing teachers to preserve valuable instruction time.
The Poodll Recording Question is idea for remote learning contexts in which learners lack the opportunity to demonstrate speaking skills in a shared physical space.
Speaking Practice
In language learning contexts, teachers are always searching for new opportunities to get their students speaking. Recording questions give language learners the opportunity to practice basic skills such as self-introductions or provide oral responses
to prompts prepared by the teacher. Recording questions provide an open response format for students to express themselves to the best of their abilities.

One more thing. When I choose mp3 in the settings, the recorded file is uploaded to the site. Where does the sound file go, if I choose the web service, (don't remember it's name now)?
The video and audio recorders by default use the tokyo.poodll.com red5 server. That is likely to be an issue. But the "MP3 recorder" works without any 3rd party server, so it is worth checking if that works. If file uploads are allowed, you could force html5 mode and then instead of a recorder, you would be able to upload a file from the PC. In the case of a tablet device that would also give you the option to record. In my opinion those are all still long shots and I do not think there will be much else you can do from user perspective. I would have to try it out and make some changes in all liklihood.
