Master record button controlled by teacher

The teacher should be able to control all aspects of the recording. For example, I say a prompt, and then I press record, for the kids to provide a response. Then I stop the recording and provide another prompt. This would benefit all of us - it benefits me in that I do not have to spend time listening to my voice all the time, or alternatively, I do not have to spend time moving the cursor forward. If I can score student work in this way, I will do it more. If I cannot score in that way, I will assign less of this type of assessment.

    Thanks, Lisa! To do exactly what you're requesting it will take us some time and development effort which we will consider the best way to do so in the future.

    Based on our current functionality I think you could get close to this, minus the "Master Record" option. The way I could see this working would be as follows.

    1. Create an assessment called "Teacher guided prompts"

    2. Add a question with just a title or something related to "I will provide the prompt live in class"

    3. Have students open the question when you are ready to provide the task

    4. After you've shared the question students would just need to click to start the recording

    That's how I think you could get really close to this currently until we're able to implement a feature that allows you to start the recording on students behalf exactly as you requested.

    Hi! It would also be great to be able to speak the prompt live, rather
    than "play" it. Is that possible?

    Thank you so much!

    Hi Lisa,

    I like this idea and I want to make sure I'm fully understanding the use case. Currently, as you know, most of Extempore is intentionally asynchronous proctoring. If I'm understanding correctly, you would like to see a way to "Synchronously Proctor" assessments/questions for students?

    Would you envision the flow being as follows?

    1. Teacher prepares an assessment/question

    2. Teacher instructs students to open an Extempore

    3. Teacher plays question for the entire class

    4. Teacher clicks "Master Record" which starts the recording for all students at the same time to start responding
