Way to take a picture in course?

Sep 09, 2013

Anybody know of a flash widget or other means to give the user the ability to take a picture of themselves in the course? The picture needs to be saved for access later.

This might work:

Requires some server-side for retaining the image. This one uses PHP.

Thanks Steve,

This might do for what i'm about to attempt. Know of any solutions that don't require server-side scripting?

Hmm... You might be able to pull it off with Flash and some JavaScript. But it would be purged when the user closed the window. Would be quite a bit of data.

Just spit-balling here (and I do NOT have the coding skills to back it up), but...

I wonder if there is a way to leverage the free-response feature of a quizzing function to house the pic?

I'm just trying to create a demo of some idea I have. I'm not really sure what would be the best way, but what I'm currently thinking would require the picture to be saved somewhere and the file location to be saved as a variable to be called up later.
