Using NameCoach with Moodle
NameCoach is a service for students to voice-record the correct pronunciation of their names and set up a NameCoach profile once to then share their recording with the peers and instructors.
There are two NameCoach tools for Moodle:
The Record names page is where members of a class can go to record the pronunciation of their names through their computer.
The Names page is where everyone enrolled in the course can listen to the previously recorded name pronunciations of other members of the class.
Note: Once an individual has recorded their name in Moodle, that recorded audio will be available in any other course that has a Name page added to it.
