The Ability to Add Audio Files to Pages and Game Based Activities
I would like the ability to add audio clips to pages and game based activities. If I can add video, and I can add images, I should also be able to add audio. Adding audio would be helpful with activities for Multilingual students, students in foreign language classes, and activities created for music, choir, or band and orchestra. Or just for teachers who are creating activities with vocabulary concepts that would benefit from an audio click attached.

It would be great if we could record audio in the activities, like matching. For example I could say "Cat" and then they would match it with the picture or word. Or if they are sorting it would be great to be able to add audio instead of just pic or word. This is super helpful for my low students and even ELL students.

this ability is also critical for Special Education Teachers. Our students need audio support for reading comprehension activities and math activities as their reading level is far below their grade level.

For game-based activities, would like to have the option of adding a voice recording instead of just text or image which would be helpful in designing phonemic awareness activities.

There are similar ideas, which are great! Just to clarify: for example, make it easy to make a match-up game where one card is the audio and another is the word, to be able to practice reading. In general, having clickable audio options able to be attached to pieces that might also have text/images/etc. This would be SO helpful for kids with LD to practice reading etc.

As a music teacher, I will vote for this every time. It is critical to using Lumio in lessons. As it stands, I can only use Lumio for the interactive pieces in my lessons, and have to switch to Google Slides for the rest, as that platform gives me the ability to add an audio file onto the slide with my visuals/instructions. Please fix this soon!

I came here to say the same thing. In SmartNotebook sound can be attached to an object. I wish the same was true here.

Be able to add audio files to Lumio pages. This can be done in Google Slides and is needed in Lumio. I tried importing a G Slide that had an attached audio file, but it didn't work...
I am a middle school music teacher and I would love to be able to click on an object or text on Lumio lesson on my whiteboard and have all students be able to post their reactions and insights into the music that they are hearing. Right now I have to play the music on another device while students respond in the Whole Class Whiteboard. -

When I create a Monster Quiz, I'd like to be able to record each question and the response choices so my lower readers can hear them by either playing automatically or having a speaker icon for them to click on if they need it.

In Schoology Assessments one can add sound files to assessment questions or multiple choice answers. As a music teacher this is SUPER important. “Is this melody you hear in a major or minor key?” “Choose the music passage that has a clear key change.” “What is the first melodic interval in this melody?”
I’m so happy to see that I can now add graphic clips of music notation, but including sound files would keep me from going back to Schoology for other assessments.

I would like to see recording as described above for teachers and students. I teach French classes and most of our time is oral. I would like to be able to use game based activities in which students wouldn't read a word but listen to a sound and match it with a picture, for example. It would be great if students could answer by recording themselves saying a word or expression.

In kindergarten students struggle to read questions so many of the quizzes and games are not K friendly. To make them more K friendly it would be amazing to be able to add audio directions or audio questions.
