We’ve seen two issues popup when students are attempting to submit a file from Google Drive into Moodle.
This is NOT an error – just a point of information.
Like it says in the text:
“just go back to the file picker and select the repository again, it should work now“.
Repository –> Google Drive

The “sesskey” error happens because you were logged into Moodle, went somewhere else to a different network, and then came back to school. Here are some possible fixes:
1 • Use a different browser – you have two on your ipad!
2 • Swipe out of all of your apps, THEN reboot your iPad by holding down the top power button until the “swipe to turn off” slider appears.
3 • Clear your web browser cache:
Chrome
Fire up Chrome. Top right corner click the icon with 3 vertical dots
LISTEN – REAL closely. Close your eyes to see if that’s a sound you can use.
Close vs Far – Putting mic close to the sound results in a recording that is very different than when it is far away. A difference of a few inches can be huge.
Levels – AVOID DISTORTION. -6 on the VU meter is a good target.
Use highest quality gear you can get. Lower quality equipmnet does not reproduce everything – you might not be hearing everything that’s in the recording. iPad earbuds are NOT that good.
Multiple takes are a good idea. Don’t record ONE handclap – record 6 or 7, and pick the best one.
PROCESS: Record –> Edit–> Export
RECORD
Settings – advanced
Format – always a tradeoff!
MP3 –> smaller file, but lossy compression = not as good audio [but is it good enough?]
WAV –> better quality, bigger files
Sample Rate –>bigger number = better sound quality
Bit Depth –> bigger number = better sound quality
Bit Rate [MP3 only] –> bigger number = better sound quality
CD quality = 16 bits @ 44100 sample rate WAV
Channels = built-in mic is MONO
I suggest after recording you change the filename AND change the title to something that makes sense.
if recording several SFX, start with a number.
1 snap
2 crackle
3 pop
………………Makes it easier to access in order on playback.
EDIT
Trim unneeded material at beginning and end – see picts below
Change filename, title, add tags if needed.
Can also duplicate a file
[ALWAYS WORK ON A DUPLICATE in case something goes awry]
Can also combine files
EXPORT – where do you want it to go?
email – not possible with very large files, though.
photo album
Google Drive
WiFi Download – screen gives an IP address. On the other device you surf to that address, and can download the file.
open w/ other apps
Bluetooth – can send directly to another Bluetooth device if it’s appropriate
