Using Audio in a Course

While currently AOM LMS doesn't have a direct way to create an Audio Module (similar to say a Video module), there is way to do it in the platform using Text/HTML module. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. To upload an audio file, log in to your Admin Dashboard and go to Assets → Media Library. Here, you can upload audio files with the following extensions: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, WMA, FLAC, and MPEG. Once the upload is complete, you can easily retrieve the file URL. Simply click on "Choose/Select" next to the uploaded file, and the full URL of the audio file will be copied. You can then use this URL wherever needed. For reference, see the example below:

   

The actual URL should look something like:

https://aom-test-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/public/AomExample-6762a7f64f43d.wav

note

The URL may vary as the "aom-test-uploads" will be replaced by your organizations prefix.

2. Now click on Courses, then Text/HTML module

3. Click on Create Text/HTML Module. Add the name of the module.

4. Click the green + icon to add a new Row and full width single column. Then click the grey + icon to add a block. Add a "Code Block"

   

5. Click the gear icon on the code block to open Settings. On the Code window pop , enter the following HTML code. Make sure to replace to URL in the src="" to the actual URL that you got from Step 1 above.

   <audio controls>
     <sourse src = "https://aom-test-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/public/AomExample-6762a7f64f43d.wav" type="audio/wav">
   </audio>

6. Click on "Save Changes" and then update the module as well by click on "Update Module"
7. You can now preview this module by clicking on Preview button and it will play the audio file:
