Record Audio, Video and Whiteboard
Record audio, video, or a whiteboard drawing using Poodll recorders, direct into the Moodle HTML areas. Rely on Poodll's backend to ease the load on your servers and student browsers. A local file uploader is also available, for students who'd rather submit an existing recording than make one live.
Cloud Storage of Recordings
Your recordings are stored in the Poodll cloud. This means your backup files stay small, and you don't need to worry about storage capacity.
Native Moodle Assignment
As a native assignment submission plugin type, Poodll fits neatly in with the Moodle grading system. Feedback can be given using Moodle's assignment feedback, and student submissions can be exported via the portfolio system. It's even possible to configure the size of the audio and video players on the various assignment screens.
Recorder Skins
Not satisfied with a one-size-fits-all recorder? Neither are we. We give you choices on the recorder you use, what it looks like, and how it behaves.
Transcription
Cloud Poodll can transcribe the student's speaking and display it beneath the player and as captions. This speeds up grading for teachers, and it's great for students learning languages.
Presentations
Oral presentations have become a common means of assessing students' understanding of the topics covered in a course of study. However, it is not always practical for each student to present live to their teachers and peers. Recorded audio and video submissions allow asynchronous assessment of presentations, allowing teachers to preserve valuable instruction time. Cloud Poodll Assignment Submission is perfect for remote learning contexts in which learners lack the opportunity to present in a shared physical space.
Speaking Practice
In language learning contexts, teachers are always searching for new opportunities to get their students speaking. Recorded mini-assignments give language learners the opportunity to practice basic skills such as self-introductions or presenting a unique aspect of their culture or homeland. Intermediate or advanced students might record extended monologues or unscripted conversations with classmates for assessment by the teacher.
