This was an interesting task, recording the audio was tedious due to a quiet microphone on my laptop and converting the file (recorded in WMA) required more effort than I would have liked. I think that I liked the process of using a voicethread more, as I think you would still be able to do much the same and more with a Voicethread.
This couldbe useful for posting ppts used in a class to the web for students to revise, with verbal explanations of what each slide means, much like being retaught.
Hi David
ReplyDeleteI agree!I had so many dramas with slideshare not letting me log in repeatedly then not showing my embedded video so then i had to find another presentation. By the time i got to the audio part and was having problems with the mike I decided to abandon the project as I felt I was wasting too much time. Straight afterwards i used VoiceThread and was so impressed with how much more user friendly the site was and also felt the site looked better, friendlier somehow!
I suppose the applications while similar have different uses, you could save each slide as jpeg and do a Voicethread presentation but i imagine Slideshare would be easier once you have the hang of it. And perhaps if you invested in better hardware (which I was not prepared to do!).
cheers
