Students can now submit audio responses within Nearpod! This feature is specifically available within the Open Ended Question activity. With this feature enabled, students can choose to enter text, audio, or both within an Open Ended Question. The audio is sent to the teacher’s dashboard in live lessons, and can be accessed via the Post Session Report for both live and student-paced lessons.
To enable this feature, create a new or edit an existing Open Ended Question activity, and turn the toggle on. Please keep in mind that the audio cannot be retrieved from the PDF or CSV version of the post-session report.
