Flexible design Learning .Week 7

This is a proposal for a flexible course design.
The context:
Technical multimedia equiptment nowadays enjoys the increasing availability and utility through the integration with personal computer systems. Both stages, operational and postproduction, make it possible (and enjoyable) for a beginner to create educational materials. Recent changes to the Polytech's intellectual property policy frees up the production and publication of educational resources, its delivery and student access to multimedia materials.

Tools and strategies for the use of audio in educational multimedia course materials (for teachers) and in course assignments (for students). Collaborative projects would be appropriate.

Creating and Accessing Audio Sources:
Using open source software eg. Audacity, Goldwave and/or free Wavpad
Recording, editing, post production & Copyright & Intellectual Property issues.

Audio Presentations:
include speech (narration, interviews, teleconferencing etc) or music for video, slide or animations

Audio Formats and Delivery Modes:
Appropiate digital audio file formats for CD, VCD and DVD, and internet streaming (podcasts/ feeds, webpages & Blogs and Wiki tutorials).

I intend the design of this course to be flexible and expect it will change in response to feedback from others already using this online open access way, and also from teachers who wish to engage more audio in their presentation and creation of teaching resources, and possibly trialing these.
