Introduction
Moodle offers many tools and activities that teachers can use to build their classes and to encourage students to participate and interact with each other. With its wide range of activities and resources. The goal of this GSOC2009 project is to add audio recording features in Moodle, the required support for transmitting and evaluating speaking skills. This feature will target mainly foreign languages classes and artistically skills classes, but it could be used for any other type of class, too, because many lectures, course annotations or personal introductions could be done easily in such a manner.
This project would focus on a small API for audio repository plug-ins which would allow the integration of sound recording components and web services with Moodle. This API will allow Moodle developers to integrate various sound recording Java applets (like Nanogong), Flash objects, or even web services (like riffly). Some connectors between these audio recording components and the plug-in will be developed as part of this GSoC project.
In short, Moodle audio recording feature will allow users to record and upload audio content easily, without requiring additional software tools or computer skills.
GSoC project mentor is Jerome Mouneyrac and the program administrator is Helen Foster
Schedule
- April, 20 – May, 23 – discus required functionality with the mentor; analyze features and APIs of various audio recording components and web-services; collect feedback from the mentor and community.
