Allowing learners to record and playback inside a course

I can see a use for both.  We would use it for learners to practice and then to evaluate themselves.  But I could see a use for the facilitator to be able to evaluate and provide feedback also.  

Jurgen, I wrote you a response. Not sure why it did not save or why it might have been removed.

I am designing an e-learning platform to cover languages that are important but not commonly studied such as the Thai language and Indonesian. It's important to be able to teach people how to speak correctly. So, there may be times when I would like the user to repeat a sentence after a native speaker or answer a question that has been asked to them in the target language or to describe a picture that has been presented to them. They should be able to have their speech recorded, played back to them, and then they should be able to compare their own speech with that of a native speaker. The materials are designed to be used without a course instructor to listen and correct the student, much how like Rosetta Stone is set up for self study. 

Regarding another project, I have also developed communication for public speaking materials and would like to add activities that help people to pay attention to their content, their voice delivery, and their nonverbal behavior. So I would like to have audio and video tools where the user can record themselves, observe themselves, write down some notes in a textbox, and  submit those video and audio materials along with their notes for feedback from a course instructor.

I hope that helps you out. 

I haven’t looked at it deeply, but I wonder if using Formative as a web object might solve part of this problem.
