8.2 Audio

Embedding audio in Moodle
Embedding audio into your course is the same as uploading any other type of file. You can upload the file in exactly the same way as you have uploaded presentations, documents and images.

After you have uploaded the file, Moodle automatically recognises that it's an audio file, so when your students click on the link, they will be presented with the Moodle audio player.

The resource will display in your course homepage like this (note the speaker icon to show students this is an audio file):

Exercise
Why not have a try creating your own audio file, or uploading an OER audio file to see how it will work in your course? Maybe you could record one of your presentations or lectures and make the recording available for your students.
