Featured Tip of the Day: Record Timed Oral Production in Zoom

In October 2020, the Tip of the Day blog presented a process for allowing students to record their conversations in a Zoom breakout room. You can also record students individually in Zoom. This task might be similar to the simulated oral proficiency interview or to an individual chapter oral exam.

See today’s post for a quick way to control an individual recording session, providing students with a specific task, determining how long they can think about their response, and determining how long they will have to complete the task.

In addition, here are some classic tips that you may find helpful as you think about preparing for the end of the semester presentations, exams, and other assignments.

• Using Audio in Canvas Assignments, Instructions, and Quizzes
• Giving Feedback in Canvas Using Audio or Video
• Have Students Submit a Photo of a Written Assignment in Canvas
• Student Presenters as Zoom Co-Hosts
• You Can Choose to Always Allow Screen Sharing in Zoom
