Cloud Poodll Assignment Feedback allows teachers to record audio or video as feedback on assignment submissions. It has no dependencies and recordings are stored in the Poodll cloud. The teacher has a choice of audio and video recorders to use. It can also generate subtitles and a transcript of the student speaking automatically.
