Students record directly in their browser — no third-party service or app required. Features -------- [](#features) - Record **audio**, **video**, or offer the student a choice of either - Configurable **maximum recording length** per assignment (auto-stops when reached, with live countdown) - **Camera switching** during video preview (optional, site-wide setting) - Re-submission shows the existing recording for playback before recording again - Site-wide **bitrate settings** for audio and video quality - Full **backup/restore** support — recordings survive course backup/restore cycles - **Privacy API** implemented — recordings are exported and deleted with GDPR requests Installation ------------ [](#installation) Copy or symlink the plugin directory to your Moodle installation: ``` {moodle_root}/mod/assign/submission/recording/ ``` Then run the Moodle upgrade: ``` php admin/cli/upgrade.php --non-interactive ``` ### JavaScript build [](#javascript-build) The AMD module must be compiled before use. From the Moodle root: ``` grunt amd --root=mod/assign/submission/recording ``` For development without building, add to `config.php`: ``` $CFG->cachejs = false; $CFG->jsrev = -1; ``` Note: even in dev mode, `amd/build/recorder.min.js` must exist. Run grunt at least once.

Student opens the submission form — a recorder UI is rendered by the AMD module into the form. 2. Student clicks **Record audio** or **Record video** and grants browser permission. 3. For video, a live camera preview is shown; student clicks **Start recording** when ready. 4. On stopping, the recording is immediately uploaded to a Moodle draft file area via `upload.php`. 5. The resulting `draftfile.php` URL is embedded as `` or `` HTML in a hidden form field. 6. On form submission, Moodle moves the file to the permanent submission file area and rewrites the URL to `@@PLUGINFILE@@` for portable storage. 7. On view/grade, the stored URL is rewritten back to a `pluginfile.php` URL and Moodle's media filter wraps it in a VideoJS player. File areas ---------- [](#file-areas) File areaDescription`submissions_recording`Permanent storage of submitted recordings, itemid = submission idBrowser support --------------- [](#browser-support) Uses the [MediaRecorder API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaRecorder). Supported in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 14.1+). Not supported in Internet Explorer. Recorded format is `webm` (Chromium/Firefox) or `mp4` (Safari). Moodle's media filter handles both. License ------- [](#license) GNU GPL v3 or later — see [COPYING.txt](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt).
