The Audio Lesson Addon for MasterStudy LMS introduces a new and engaging way to deliver course content. Now you can share audio lessons by uploading audio files or adding them from Spotify or SoundCloud. This addon allows educators to create audio-based lessons using various audio formats, enhancing the learning experience by catering to auditory learners.

    • Select the course you want to add an audio lesson to or create a new course.

Let's say we want to enhance our lesson by integrating a SoundCloud podcast.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to SoundCloud and find the podcast you wish to embed.

  2. Click on the 'Share' button and select 'Embed' to generate the embed code for the podcast.

  3. Copy the generated embed code to your clipboard.

Next, edit the lesson where you want to include the podcast:

  1. Open the lesson in your preferred editor.

  2. Switch to the source code or HTML view of the lesson.

  3. Paste the copied embed code into the desired location within the source code.

Example of embedded SoundCloud code:

<iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1586853385&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe><div style="font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/takeiteasyrec" title="Take It Easy Records" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Take It Easy Records</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/takeiteasyrec/sets/deep-house-2023" title="Deep House 2024" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Deep House 2024</a></div>

By following these steps and examples, you can seamlessly add enriching SoundCloud and any external podcasts to your lessons.

Required Audio Progress

The Required Audio Progress feature ensures that learners listen to a certain percentage of a lesson’s audio before marking it as complete. As they listen, a progress indicator displays how much of the audio has been passed, and the Complete button remains disabled until the specified listen threshold (e.g., 75% or 100%) is met—this helps maintain course quality by requiring students to fully engage with the content.

Required Audio Progress is available in all audio source types except Embed and Shortcode types. They do not function with them, as those methods lack direct access to the audio player's time data, preventing progress tracking.

How to Set Required Audio Progress Percentage?

This is quite a straightforward process.

Save the changes:

Here is how it will look to students:

Because the Required Audio Progress feature only controls the lesson’s completeness, a student can still access the next lesson via the curriculum or a direct link even if they haven’t met the watch percentage.


Timecodes

Timecodes let you link specific points of audio to text in your lesson, so learners can jump straight to the exact moment they need. This is especially helpful for longer audio with multiple topics, allowing students to quickly navigate to relevant sections without manually scrubbing through the entire audio.

Timecodes are available in all audio source types except Embed and Shortcode types. They do not function with them, as those methods lack direct access to the audio player's time data, preventing progress tracking and timestamp jumps.

How to Add Timecodes to Audio Lessons?

This is quite a straightforward process.

Choose any source type except embed and shortcode types, then provide the rest of the information:

Timecodes Format

Scroll down to the Lesson Content section and wrap the timestamp and its title/description in curly braces {} in. For example:

{wrapped text 01:25}
  • This signals the LMS that “01:25” is a timestamp for your audio, and “wrapped text” is simply a label or description.

You can use the timestamp in different positions like this example:

#Timestamp at the beginning
{01:25 wrapped text}

#Timestamp in the middle
{wrapped 01:25 text}

#Timestamp at the end
{wrapped text 01:25}
