Can my students upload podcasts to Canvas?

[letishab]

I am planning to assign a podcast assignment to my Fall course, and I'd like to know if they can be uploaded via Canvas, and if so is there a particular format that is necessary? A part of the assignment is to produce a transcript (which I know can be uploaded as a word document), it is the audio that I am curious about.

Hi Letisha and welcome to the community!

Yes, you can have your students upload audio and text files to Canvas, either to share with each other or just with you.  You could have them use a program such as Audacity and have them upload the audio to Canvas as an .Mp3 file for example.
