Record your name pronunciation in Moodle

Recording your name

Recording how to pronounce your name will make it easier for professors and students to learn how to say your name. To start, log into Moodle.

Click on your name (top right) and select Profile
Under User details, select Edit profile
In the Description section, select the microphone icon and record your name
Select Attach recording
Go to the bottom of the page and select Update profile

To update the pronunciation, edit the Description section. Delete the original recording and make a new recording.

Some versions of the Safari web browser may not properly display the audio recording button. If you don't see the microphone icon, try again using the Chrome, Firefox, or Opera browser.
