About Sound• .wav - a format developed by
Windows and used extensively on Windows operating systems
• .mp3 - audio format that compressed sound with minimal loss of quality (i.e. audio file size is a lot smaller as an .mp3 compared to a .wav).
Streaming• Technique for transferring data such that it
can be processed as a steady and continuous stream.
• The client browser or plug-in (WMV, QuickTime, Flash) can start displaying the data before the entire file has been transmitted.
• Moodle automatically adds a “skin” or Moodle automatically adds a “skin” or music player to your uploaded sound filemusic player to your uploaded sound file
Podcasting and Feeds
• Audio Files can easily be recorded using sound recording software that enable mixing in of multiple voices, sound effects and music.
Using Podcasts in Training
Export
• Due to licensing rights Audacity exports in .wav format
• To export in .mp3 format need to download a LAME encoder
Audacity is a free, easy-to-use audio editor and
recorder for a variety of operating systems
Saving and Exporting
• Project Files (.aud)
• WAV’s
• mp3
Lets make a podcast
• Script/Plan material/topic – have a clear purpose
• 5 minutes maximum(much shorter for vocals that accompany quizzes, decision making trees or scenarios
• Variety of voices
• Consider mixing up the audio presentation through the use of narrative, question and answer, interviews and guest speakers
Recording
• Desktop computers/Laptop sound cards
• Personal Digital Recorders
• Consider an external microphone. (Hold it Steady)
• For podcasts with spoken voice only, the quality does not need to be that high for effective podcasts.
