Instead of simply providing leaners with a text assignment description, an instructor can record an video introduction in an assignment. To explore additional options related to creating an assignment, visit the Adding an Assignment article.
Note: The steps to adding a video recording to the instructions for an assignment also apply to labels, pages, forums, blogs or any Moodle module with the text editor toolbar.
