Audio files are a wonderful way to supplement the content already in your courses. They can provide an alternative to text files. Additionally, students can listen to lectures over and over again at the speed of their choice. This is good for review and note-taking.
In this episode, I will share six ways to capture an audio file that you can upload to your course. These methods include:
- Using Zoom audio recordings
- Recording a lecture with an audio recorder
- Converting text to speech
- Recording podcasts
- Converting YouTube to MP3
- Saving videos as MP3 files during processing
Also, come join me next week when I talk about a new learning journey that I am about to embark upon.
