Audio for E-Learning

Podcast in Educatiton

Designing instructional materials require a lot of consideration that relates to knowing the learners. There are many types of learners. Some do well with kinesthetic, hands-on assignments, while others need visual aids to process information. Keeping all this in mind, we need to consider the importance of the narrator's sound when creating any educational materials in multimedia presentations or videos for distance and traditional learning. Audio is an effective way of enriching the learning outcome for any different type of learners. Many students learn through listening. Creating a series of podcasts for a unit maybe be more exciting and engaging than having students read it over a book.

On this page, you will find an example of a podcast created for a short overview lesson on digital citizenship unit introduced to middle school students.
