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:

  1. Place the "recordaudio" directory within your_moodle_install/repository/
  2. Visit the admin notifications page and complete the installation
  3. Under "Site Administration -> Plugins -> Repositories -> Manage Repositories":
    1. Find "Record Audio" and choose "Enabled and visible" in the dropdown beside it
    2. Optionally specify a custom name for the repository (the default is "Record Audio")
    3. Click "Save"
    4. Optionally use the arrows in the "Order" column to change its position in the list of active repositories
  4. 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.

    Hi Paul, I am wondering if there is a discussion thread for this repository. I have it installed on my 2.3.1 site, it records just fine, but when I name the file and click upload, it serves an error saying "no files attached. I have the audio recording assignment type working just fine on the same site.

    Hi Rob,
    I suspect you're actually using 2.3.1+ rather than the main 2.3.1 release, as a patch landed in 2.3.1+ (Build: 20120712) which fixed a regression and therefore confuses the plugin as I was working around it. A later 2.3.1+ (Build: 20120816) has introduced some new functionality to allow the plugin to be much tidier and less hacky - if you update to (at least) that build, you can then grab a build of the repo plugin (https://github.com/pauln/moodle-repository_recordaudio/zipball/MDL-33640_full) built to work with that patch. I'll add that version into the plugin DB shortly - I just need to make sure it's set to require the right version of Moodle.

    As for a forum thread, I thought there was one - but I must have imagined it. I'll start one once I've sorted out the 2.3 situation.

    Works like a charm for me. I just updated today to 2.32+ stable and have no problems. An excellent and highly useful plugin. I can't wait to present it to a group of language teachers tomorrow. This can be used anywhere, in quizes, workshops, assignments, or just plain files/folders.
    Thanks so much for your work on this.
    I clicked on Review but don't see how I'm able to enter a review, so I'm just commenting here. 5 Stars *****

    Excellent job Paul.
    Simple and yet works fine.
    Is there a way to translate this plugin? I create a new file in lang folder, but all commands in the plugin are still in english.
    Thanks for your help.
