Use this guide to demonstrate how to record for your students and address any recording issues they may encounter in an ELPAC Readiness class.
Recording on the Pronunciation Perfector
How to Record
Once students are on a speaking question on an assessment, quiz, or activity, they will click the Play button at the top of the page to listen to the available instruction and question audio. Some activities require students to first listen to the audio before they can record their answers.
If a student attempts to record their answer without first listening to the instruction and question audio, an alert will appear on their screen.
Students can record as many times as they need to.
Students will follow the steps below when they are ready to record:
Step 1: Click the Microphone button to begin recording an answer. Students should speak clearly and loud enough into their microphone.
Step 2: Click the Stop button to stop recording.
Step 3: Click the green Play button to listen to a recording.
If a student would like to record their answer again, they can click on the Microphone button. The new recording will delete their previous response. The new recording will become their answer.
Recordings will be saved automatically once students move on to the next question. The recordings will be graded once the assessment or quiz has been submitted.
How Long Can a Recording Be?
