About This Task
The audio practice element allows you to realistically simulate work scenarios that require verbal communication skills. Some examples include sales pitches, cold calls, and customer support conversations. When learners encounter audio practice activities, they see a prompt to answer and instructions on what an excellent response consists of. Audio practice elements can be required or not, and graded or not.
