Record Audio within itslearning

Audience: Teachers
System Preferences: Latest Chrome OS

Itslearning contains a rich-text editor toolbar, with the option to record and insert audio, video, images, links, and more. It is helpful to utilize the rich-text editor toolbar to record and insert audio recordings in order to provide learners with multiple means of representation in the learning environment, to overcome barriers to perception, language, symbols, and comprehension. Plus, audio recordings can be helpful for adding a personal touch in a virtual environment.

The rich-text editor toolbar is located throughout itslearning, meaning the ability to record and insert audio within itslearning is available throughout as well. 

1. Create a resource, especially one with the rich-text toolbar included in the resource, such as an assignment, page, note, discussion, test, etc. The rich-text toolbar is located virtually everywhere on itslearning.
   
2.  When you have the resource open, look for the rich-text editor toolbar. Click “More Options”, if the toolbar does not show all of the toolbar’s buttons.
