Editor's Notes
- Welcome to the presentation on “Effective use of audio narration in e-learning.”
- Audio narration in e-learning courses is a powerful means of improving the efficacy of the material.
- Adding audio and video can result in better understanding of the learning material.
- Audio and video together can also make content persuasive.
- The purpose of audio in e-learning courses is to keep the learner engaged for an extended period of time.
- Does audio in e-learning course really affect learners’ learning ability?
- Yes, audio in e-learning courses does affect learning as it complements display of text by talking about it. The ‘Telling’ part also can support and explain visuals clearly.
- So, what are the most effective ways of using audio in e-learning courses?
- Audio narration can have a more meaningful impact on e-learning courses if it is used as a supplement to learning.
- The narrator should sound like an expert on the subject. However, even if one isn’t an expert, one should have the proper inflection and intonation for relevant emphasis.
- Proper inflection includes a smooth, natural sense of dialogue, pace and tone and should sound like the narrator is speaking to you.
- Narration, in order to be powerful, should be spoken in a manner that supports learning.
- Audio should always be aligned to support learning principles if it is to improve learning significantly.
- Use audio judiciously only. Only where there is a need to explain a process or process flows, complicated definitions, key points, simulations, etc. This will also prevent the learner from getting into a passive mode.
- Providing audio controls are a must as it allows the learner to turn the narration on or off as needed and gives him or her more control over his learning experience.
- Synchronize the audio narration and animation to better explain the text and graphics.
- When it comes to the use of humor in narration, ensure that the recording captures it correctly. For instance, a very serious voice might dilute your attempt at humor.
- Do we really need narration?
- If we know that good visual presentations include limited text and incorporate interactive components, audio can be a key part of the learning process.
- How much narration in e-learning is needed?
- Audio has to be the part of the complete picture, we learn best if we see, hear or do.
- However, the entire course shouldn’t be narrated.
- Do not read each word of on screen text. Make sure your audio provides more than the on screen text, which ideally should be very brief and concise.
- Use audio only when it is instructionally needed.
- Here are a few advantages of effective use of audio narration in e-learning.
- Makes the information more likely to be retained.
- Can provide detailed explanations about slide objects, without cluttering the screen with text
- Adds an element of interest and engagement to the course material.
- Audio narration also provides an element of authenticity to the course material.
- Disadvantages of ineffective use of audio narration in e-learning.
- Huge audio file make loading slow.
- Overuse of audio can distract learners.
- Repeating the on-screen text in the audio can irritate learners
- Audio not thematically connected to the on-screen text and graphics will confuse learners as they won’t be able to concentrate on the on-screen text and the voiceover simultaneously.
- Background noise or poor quality of recording can distract the learner and be counterproductive.
- Conclusion
- Narration and voiceovers can have a meaningful impact on e-learning if they are used as a supplement to learning, whether in role playing, providing feedback to activities or in simulations.
