Audio Recorder
Main Uses
The Audio Recorder object is useful in an activity that helps learners practice their pronunciation and speech, for example, in a language course, an English as a Second Language course, or a course that teaches a foreign language.
It is also useful in music courses in which learners can learn the concepts first and then play the tone. A sample clip can be provided for learners to compare.
A course that teaches customer services or communication skills can use this tool too, especially when a tone is crucial. For example, in a course that trains nurses or front desk staff how to greet or ask questions in a tone that sounds friendly and caring, learners can record their own greeting and compare it to a sample, or a cashier in a clothing store can record their responses to a customer who complains about a product they bought and asks for a return and full refund.
