– Prep Research, Planning and Coordination» All take time, effort and a certain degree of patience.

» Identify a topic of potential interest to students

» Preparing the Recording Environment

» Try to eliminate or attenuate as many of noise as possible

» Digital clocks are also recommended to help us keep track of time.

» And now recording a Podcast

Add a Flash Quiz or Survey

• Add a Flash Quiz or Survey to a video to test viewer’s knowledge or gain viewer feedback. You can include multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short answer questions. Receive the quiz or survey results by email !!!!!
