Very cool indeed! We could do so much with something like this!
I agree, this would be a fine Repository plugin!
Nanogong could be a good place to start: Tim, thanks for your suggestion, watchers, thanks for your interest, and thanks to everyone who has voted
This feature idea is now included in the list http://docs.moodle.org/en/Projects_for_new_developers Could this also work for video - to record directly from a webcam?
As a language teacher, this would be a great asset. It would change every computer lab into a language lab. I like the record video from a webcam also, and would like to see recording of both ends of a conversation.
Tim,
Sounds great! Intergrating the audio recording with the upload so that if a 'title' has been defined the audio appears when the recording ends would reduce clutter perhaps. Doing this with video as well (as Clark suggests) would be superb (and I don't think at all trivial), I know one or two lecturers at Ravensbourne College, UK, who video blog their lectures. Though you then have to consider hiding the resource for a week or students never need get out of bed! Not necessarily a 'webcam', but a plugged in camcorder for example. And note the fabulously clever BBC model where the server is fed a file stream from the news desk, which is immediately streamable from the front end! But perhaps that is TOO exotic! It is a GSOC project, so assign this to moodle.com
The riffly repository plugin provides integration of the riffly.com web services, allowing recording of audio and video content. The content is stored on the riffly.com servers and requires no account, streaming software or additional storage space on the Moodle side.
For the benefit of watchers, and anyone else viewing this issue, I'm just adding a link to a blog post where Andrei explains how to install and use the riffly repository plugin:
here is a patch for a similar purpose that you can apply to Moodle 1.9.x
it enables audio/video posts in forums: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-19192 
i will keep you posed when i have integrated it into htmlarea The latest riffly plugin is in CVS contrib/repository/riffly. I'm also attaching the nanogong plugin for repository. It's not in CVS, yet.
The two plugins are in CVS /plugins/repository/riffy and /plugins/repository/nanogong.
Andrei, thanks for adding the plugins to the modules and plugins database
http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=2611 For anyone wishing to try out the plugins, please see http://abautu.blogspot.com/2009/08/completed-audio-repository-plugins.html Hi Andrei,
I've just tried the riffy plugin on my 2.0 test site. I couldn't get my riffy instance to appear in the list of repositories in the file picker until Jerome figured out that 'Download files locally' needed to be set to Yes in the repository instance settings. (The default is No.) Hope this little problem can be fixed easily. Hi Helen,
Thank you for your observation. "Download files" option defaults now to Yes because the File picker displays only plugins that can provide it with actual files (ie. it does not accept links). Andrei, thanks for fixing the problem.
Watchers, and anyone else interested, please feel free to try out the repository plugins on our test site: http://test.moodle.org/audiovideo/ Thanks to Jerome and Jordan for setting up the test site. Hi Art,
Thank you for the comment. Did it work with the latest 2.0 dev? Andrei Following is the result of trying 'Riffy plugin' on Moodle 2.0 dev (Build 20090822) More information about this error
Hi George,
I just updated the Moodle and pluings' code. I tried to replicate this error but I could not (ie it worked correctly). Can you update your code and retest? Maybe the error was fixed already in someplace else. If it shows up again, can you provide more details:
Hello
I've got a question about Nanogong repository in Moodle 2.0: will it be compatible with recordings created by Nanogong HTML Area in version 'Nanogong 3' (available here: http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=1209)? I'm looking forward for response. Regards @Lukasz: The repository plugin uses the same Nanogong applet, so the file format is the same. The difference is that for the repository plugin, after recording the file goes under the repository management (which is part of Moodle), instead of begin managed by the 3rd party plugin you mentioned. A tool to migrate the files from the Nanogong HTML Area inside the repository might be helpful though (especially if you have many files).
