Product update live since: 6 November 2025
You can now add audio file to your Edcafe AI materials.
This update brings a new layer of accessibility and flexibility to how you guide students through activities and resources.
Teachers can now include recorded or uploaded audio directly in the instruction and passage fields of:
Assignment Grader, Chatbot, Lesson Plan, Quiz Introduction, and Summary Note.
This enhancement makes it easier to include spoken guidance, model pronunciation, or add short audio explanations, helping every student access information in the way that works best for them.
How to Add Audio
Adding audio to your materials takes just a few seconds.
- Open any supported tool — Assignment Grader, Chatbot, Lesson Plan, Quiz, or Summary Note.
- In the editor, click the Audio icon in the toolbar, or type “/” and select Audio.
- Upload an audio file from your device. Once inserted, it will appear directly in your content.
What Students Experience
When students access your activity, they’ll see a built-in audio player alongside your written instructions.
They can listen before starting, pause, and replay as needed — allowing them to review the information in a way that suits their learning preference.
For example, in Assignment Grader, you might include a short recording explaining how to paraphrase a story before submission.
Or in a Chatbot, a spoken task introduction helps students understand the tone or context before responding.
When to Use It
- Lesson Plans and Quizzes — Add a short spoken introduction or context before the task begins.
- Summary Notes — Pair text with audio instructions for listening comprehension or support for different reading levels.
- Chatbot and Assignment Grader — Record clear, friendly instructions so students know exactly what to do before responding or submitting work.
With audio now integrated across your Edcafe AI tools, you can combine text, visuals, and voice to make your lessons clearer, more personal, and more inclusive.
Why This Matters
Written instructions work well for many learners, but not all students absorb information in the same way.
Some learn better when they can hear the task explained aloud, while others benefit from listening as they follow along with text.
By adding audio instructions, you give students another way to access directions, context, or examples, making learning more inclusive, especially for younger students, language learners, or those who prefer auditory input.
It also helps teachers communicate tone and emphasis more naturally, reducing misunderstandings and keeping activities clear and personal.
