The project above is from week three. It is an introduction to the instructor for my course, Technology Resources for Educators: Support Student Learning Using Engaging Tech. Originally I used computer generated audio from Storyline 360, which honestly sounded very computer generated. At the time it was a nice way to take my introduction up a notch as audio was not required. I added it because I wanted the biography to be accessible to a wider audience.
​
In the above enhanced version, I recorded my own audio. I reflected upon the purpose of the actual document: to connect with learners and in turn create a better learning experience for them. As I contemplated this assignment I realized that a computer generated voice was not the way to connect with my learners. It was necessary to record my own voice so that there could be a true connection and to engage my audience fully. I recorded the audio and edited it in Storyline 360, taking out pauses and trimming the beginning and end. I also typed up a transcript to accompany the audio, which is located in the resources section of the learning experience.
