I would love the ability to allow students the opportunity to give a video or audio response to a homework question or assessment question. In particular, I can think of the value that this would add to World Language classes for speaking practice/assessment. Is this something that your development team would consider adding to the homework and assessment responses? Thanks!
+1 to Gideon's suggestion, our teacher's are asking for this as well!
Previously, we had access to composite questions where we could put a listening track in and have 2-3 questions grouped together that went with that audio file. Is it possible to do that with the new editor? If so, how is that possible?
Thanks!
Jeremy,
The passage question type will be item type you would want to use in the new Buzz editor for this type of question set.
How do I set up passages for assessments and practice questions (formerly homework)?
In the old Buzz version, I could double-click a photo when I uploaded a photo to questions in an assessment and Edit Media to add text. Now when I do, no text shows up. I can see the text when I turn on the text editor, but it disappears when previewing...
Hello Jhusser!
Unfortunately this function is not available in the new Buzz UI at this time. One can still insert an image into the Content field of the activity, but not within the questions page.
