Usable anywhere that you can choose files from a repository, the Record Audio repository uses the same interface as the Online Audio assignment type (and 2.3 assignment submission plugin) to allow you to record audio in MP3 format and upload (or embed) it.
Requirements:
- Moodle 2.x (tested on Moodle 2.0 to 2.3)
- Flash Player 10.1 or higher
- JavaScript enabled in your browser
Installation:
- Place the "recordaudio" directory within your_moodle_install/repository/
- Visit the admin notifications page and complete the installation
- Under "Site Administration -> Plugins -> Repositories -> Manage Repositories":
- Find "Record Audio" and choose "Enabled and visible" in the dropdown beside it
- Optionally specify a custom name for the repository (the default is "Record Audio")
- Click "Save"
- Optionally use the arrows in the "Order" column to change its position in the list of active repositories
- Done!
The screenshot shown here depicts the Moodle 2.3.1+ version of the plugin. The version for earlier Moodle versions does not include the Author and License fields.

The Record Audio plugin (this one) is a repository plugin - so it doesn't show up as an activity or resource. To enable the repository plugin, go to Site administration -> Plugins -> Repositories -> Manage repositories; once you're there, find "Record Audio" and set it to "Enabled and visible". It'll prompt you for a custom name - but you can leave it blank to use the default. Once this is done, it'll appear as another option on the left-hand side of the file picker anywhere that you can upload or embed a file.
If you want to use the assignment types, for 2.5 you probably want the submission plugin: https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=assignsubmission_onlineaudio - please read the description carefully for instructions. Alternatively, if you have enabled the old (2.2) assignment plugin, you can use the assignment type (https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=assignment_onlineaudio), which appears as its own item in the list of activities to add - which matches where you seem to be looking for it.
HTH,

Will test on 2.9 and let everyone know the outcome.
But if it is suitable to 2.9, then the repository needs updating... badly.
I'm testing this new repository for Moodle 2.9. I have installed. I have enabled management repositories. I made a test within a course, adding a file, and when I go to select a file and select the repository "Record Audio" I left with the message "Loading. Please wait" and the two buttons "Cancel" and "Upload" and stays there without being able to do more.
What's missing?
Thank you
I have posted in this link:

Thanks.
I know that this is a moodle-related discussion but.... Is there a version of your recorder which can be embedded in ordinary html pages (i.e. outside of moodle)?
Thanks
Andrew
There sure is - details are at https://github.com/pauln/local-audio-recorder
I'm also working on an HTML5/JS version which uses a "headless" version of the Flash widget as a fallback for older browsers, but I haven't had much time to work on it lately. When I do find time to complete it, I'll be posting new versions of this plugin and my assignment submission plugin which make use of it; I'll try to remember to include a link to the relevant Github repository for that recording widget when I do so.
I'll send you a private message too, in case you haven't subscribed to comments here.
