Hello, we use Poodll, especially Read Aloud, within an entirely autograded English-as-a-foreign-language course. It's a very huge course for university students (1., 2., 3. year). We are very happy with this plugin, that allows us to train phonology and to attribute grades to students in a course without teacher assessing. We really want to thank Justin for this wonderful tool!

Is it possible to embed a Read-Aloud activity into a "book" activity?
Thx

Hi Islam. I think that an error is occurring but that its not showing that to you. its most likely that your API username and secret were not entered correctly, or that you have not registered the URL of your Moodle site in your Poodll account. The URL must start with http or https. Can you check those points?
The setup basics for ReadAloud and other Cloud Poodll plugins are the same. You can see more details here. https://poodll.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/19000093860-getting-started-with-cloud-poodll

Hi, i've installed the plugin on moodle 3.6, added the activity.
The activity allows me to test the mic, then the "start activity" button appears. I click on start activity, but the reading passage fails to appear. Please help
Thanks

This plugin hits it out of the park! Thanks Justin for bringing this back and building in the machine grading by leveraging the Poodll platform. Nice work!

Hi Elton,
Thanks a lot for your reply,

I managed to compile a code to hide the audio player. here it is

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1BVuLGFV6kANERncVczMzJESzQ/view?usp=sharing

It shows the text and a button named "click to listen" and once clicked the button and the text disappears and the audio starts
But if the student reloaded the page the button appears again. Any suggestions?
(I have no skills in coding, I just tried and tried till it worked)
Thanks

Hi,

I'd like to use the tool for speaking. How can I change Begin Reading to Record?
Thanks

Hi,

I tested Mohamed's suggestion earlier today. I thought it might be possible to add an audio player by changing to HTML format in the drop-down menu, but that wasn't the case. I think there are two possible options here: one is to follow Camille's suggestion above and add a recording to the description area; the other is to use a plug-in designed to encourage students to follow a pronunciation model. One such plug-in that comes to mind is Voice Shadow. I'm not sure that it's available in the Moodle plugins database, but it can be downloaded from Github. Voice Shadow also has a mobile app that extends the plug-in for use with smartphones.
