Recorded Sessions

Posted on 30. Sep, 2008 by jon in New Features, eduFire News

I’m probably biased but this is probably one of the coolest features we’ve launched on eduFire.

Now when you take a tutoring session on eduFire you can have that session recorded and placed in your profile to get back to watch or listen to at your leisure.

A big part of learning is repetition, especially for language learning. When you take a class or a private tutoring session it can go by rather quickly. Inevitably you have those moments of “If I could only go through that again?” or “What was my teacher saying again?”

With eduFire you’ll have those moments no longer.

Now when sessions begin on eduFire the teacher can choose to record the session by going to Meeting > Record Meeting (see screenshot). Once your session is complete, a recording of your session will be automatically placed in your profile next to the lesson. It will be ready for viewing 2-3 hours after your lesson is complete.

I’m currently taking Japanese lessons on eduFire and all I can say is that this feature is huge for me. While I feel like I’m learning Japanese at a very fast clip the ability to go back and replay lessons will really help to enforce my learning. And a great way to warm up for your next lesson is by replaying your last lesson.

What’s great too is having a history of your lessons on eduFire so you can see just how far you have come. It’s a brand new feature but it’ll make it fun to go back months from now and say “Wow, I’ve really come a long way!”

For all of you students, make sure to remind your teacher to turn on recording of your sessions. We’re adding instructions into our session tool but it won’t hurt to double-check with your teacher since sessions aren’t automatically recorded.

Enjoy this great new feature! :)

  • Yo !

    It's obviously very interesting to record a lesson because if the lesson is bad you can check it, remake it, improve it and erase the bad lesson.
    If the lesson is good you can use it and go to the beach because the teacher is almost unnecessary :-)
    The problem is : I have no beach next door !
  • It's also great for showing the lesson off to others in the house.

    Does this work with the new classes feature? I'd LOVE to record sessions!
  • This is a wonderful tool - a great "value added" feature!

    Thanks Jon!

    When I click on my edufire or my classes, I can't see the classes that I recorded anywhere. Is it just because I'm the teacher and only students can view them?
