This method can be used to create an assignment where a student reads aloud to the teacher.

 

Option 1: Students can use the built-in recording tools in Canvas to record “on the fly.”  Option 1 is best for short recordings.

 

Option 2: Students can record the file ahead of time using the Camera App on their Chromebook and then upload the file to Canvas.  To record audio only in the Camera App, students can close the camera privacy screen.  Option 2 is best for longer recordings.
