17. HTML Collection of related web pages, Maintained by specialists Each web page is a separate HTML file Other multi-media components are separate files also, e.g.. GIF, JPEG, Flash Animations etc

18. Writing Course Content Use the Moodle html editor Use a third party tool like ARED, Wimba Create, Articulate, PowerPoint (and iSpring) Use Dreamweaver Use Captivate ( which exports its content as a swf file capable of being played in a flash player )

19. Why is HTML important here? Embeds/can be linked to easily in LMS, Blogs, Wikis, Webpages Interactivity Hyperlinks Can be structured to other docs Can be read by everyone

28. Web Editors Write, paste text Embed Multimedia Insert Images Add links Tricky beasts, positioning is hard

29. About Sound . wav - a format developed by Windows and used extensively on Windows operating systems . mp3 - audio format that compressed sound with minimal loss of quality (i.e. audio file size is a lot smaller as an .mp3 compared to a .wav).

30. Streaming Technique for transferring data such that it can be processed as a steady and continuous stream. The client browser or plug-in (WMV, QuickTime, Flash) can start displaying the data before the entire file has been transmitted. Moodle automatically adds a “skin” or music player to your uploaded sound file

31. Podcasting and Feeds Audio Files can easily be recorded using sound recording software that enable mixing in of multiple voices, sound effects and music.

32. Using Podcasts in Training

33. Export Due to licensing rights Audacity exports in .wav format To export in .mp3 format need to download a LAME encoder

34. Audacity is a free, easy-to-use audio editor and recorder for a variety of operating systems

35. Saving and Exporting Project Files (.aud) WAV’s mp3

36. Lets make a podcast Script/Plan material/topic – have a clear purpose 5 minutes maximum (much shorter for vocals that accompany quizzes, decision making trees or scenarios Variety of voices Consider mixing up the audio presentation through the use of narrative, question and answer, interviews and guest speakers

37. Recording D esktop computers /Laptop sound cards Personal Digital Recorders Consider an external microphone. (Hold it Steady) For podcasts with spoken voice only, the quality does not need to be that high for effective podcasts.
