Instead of providing learners with only a written assignment description, an instructor can add an audio recording to introduce the assignment.
For additional options for creating and setting up an assignment, see the Adding an Assignment article.
Note: The steps for adding an audio recording to assignment instructions also apply to text and media areas, pages, forums, blogs and other Moodle activities or resources that use the text editor toolbar.
