Audio recording assignments

With this new type of assignment, you will be able to assess the recorded performance of your students. 🎙

Focus on the performance!

✅ Pick the score your students will have to follow while recording themselves.

✅ Once they are done, they need to click on the stop button on the top left corner of their screen. If they are satisfied with the result, they can click on Save recording.

💡 The students can always record a new track and pick the one they want to keep.
