Let students answer a quiz question out loud.
The AddPipe WordPress plugin puts an audio, video or screen recorder inside a Tutor LMS Open Ended question. Students record in the browser, on a laptop or a phone, with nothing to install.
Assess what writing cannot show
Pronunciation, fluency, presentation and bedside manner are all easier to mark from thirty seconds of recording than from a paragraph describing them.
Nothing for students to install
The recorder runs in the browser they already have open, including mobile Safari. No app, no upload from the camera roll, no file-size confusion.
Your host stays small
Video never touches your WordPress server. It uploads to AddPipe, is transcoded there, and plays back from AddPipe or from your own bucket.
What courses use it for.
Language practice
Spoken answers marked for pronunciation and fluency, recorded on a phone between classes.
Software demonstrations
Screen recording with the camera in the corner, so the student narrates what they are doing.
Presentation assessment
A timed spoken response, the closest thing to a viva that an asynchronous course can offer.
Details.
Which Tutor LMS version is needed?
Tutor LMS 4 or later, where a shortcode placed in an Open Ended question description renders for the student.
Which question type do I use?
Open Ended. Put the AddPipe shortcode in the question description, so the recorder appears above the student's answer box.
How does the instructor find the recording?
Every recording lands in your AddPipe dashboard, and in the plugin's Recordings screen in WordPress admin when the webhook key is set. Ask students to submit the recording name with their written answer to tie the two together.
Can students record their screen as well as themselves?
Yes. The recorder can capture camera, microphone or screen, and screen with camera together, which suits software demonstrations and presentation assignments.
Does the video load on my WordPress host?
No. Recordings upload to AddPipe and are transcoded there. Your host never stores or serves the video file, so a course with heavy video submissions does not need a bigger plan.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, in mobile Safari and Chrome without an app. This matters for language courses, where most students record on a phone.
