Recording Audio and Video

Online instructors are encouraged to use audio and video to post announcements, provide feedback, or enhance course content.  In addition to providing feedback, there are other benefits to using audio or video:

• Vokis are fun, casual ways to post quick reminders about requirements for the week.  Vokis can also be used for case studies.
• Weekly podcasts can help students connect real-world experience with course content.
• Video announcements can help instructors stay connected with students on a personal level.

A variety of different tools exist to help you create video or audio formats.  Vocaroo and Audacity can be used to create audio formats.  A simple webcam with software or iMovie can be used to create videos.  And Vokis use avatars for up to 60 seconds.
