audio lectures

I'm looking into the recording and distribution through Moodle of English language lectures. There are a number of issues to consider from pedagogical and technological viewpoints.

Pedagogical:

- how will students use this type of resource?
- should the lecture/workshop/seminar differ because it is being recorded?
- what is the value, in terms of the learning experience, of this resource?
- meta-tagging, naming conventions for consistency

Technological:

- how much pre- and post-production will be required
- how to train and support tutors and students
- which format to use - the source WMA or the flexible, ubiquitous and well supported MP3 format?
- which WMA-2-MP3 convertor to use? iTunes or Switch? Should an enterprise be dependent upon free proprietorial tools?

Labels: audacity, audio, e-learning moodle, itunes, mp3, recording, wma
