Post Video feedback with a grade

A teacher can embed audio/video recordings with feedback next to the grades for assessments / assignments. Students can play the feedback alongside with any text you include.

Audio / video feedback is not currently supported when you rate grading with rubrics. This feature is not supported in all browsers. Use Chrome or Firefox for the best experience.

Recordings of feedback are unique to a student’s submission. It is therefore not possible to download, share or reuse recordings that you have made in the feedback editor.

– Students can open the recording from the Assignment or My Grades. The recordings are streamed to the student’s devices and nothing needs to be downloaded.
