Explain how PoodLL, an online Moodle tool with audio/video features, can be used to assess spoken language, to address needs of students with disabilities, or to give students feedback. PoodLL can be used directly from the editor for spoken practice and assessment as well as for students with disabilities. Students can record audio for any activity on Moodle and within a Moodle assignment. Instructors can also add online text or audio recording as feedback to the student instead of typing written feedback.
