Overview
Recording your name pronunciation in Canvas helps ensure that instructors and classmates can pronounce your name correctly.
Steps
- Log in to Canvas.
- Click "Account" from the Global Navigation Menu.
- Click "Record Name Pronunciation."
- Click "Record Name" if this is your first recording, or click "Edit Your Info" to update an existing recording.
- A popup will appear giving you three options to record your name:
- Phone - NameCoach will call your phone to record your name.
- Web Recorder - Use your computer's microphone to record your name.
- Uploader - Use this option if you already have an audio file of your name pronunciation.
- For this example, we'll be using the "Web Recorder" option. To start you recording, click "Record."
- Once you begin recording, the countdown time will start. You will have 25 seconds to record your name. Once you've finished recording, click "Stop."
- Once you've finished, you can listen to your recording or click "Record Again" to make a new recording. If you're satisfied with your recording, click "Submit."
- Your name pronunciation has been saved and is now available throughout Canvas. Look for the "NameCoach Roster" tool in your courses to hear the pronunciations of your instructors and classmates.
