 * Examples of Audio in E-Learning**


 * **Audio** ||  **Appropriate Use**  ||  **How Integration Enhances Learning**  ||  **How Effective in E- Learning**  ||
 * **Human Voice Over** || When the best quality of audio is needed, pronunciation needs to be clear & accurate, project is high priority; no background noise disturbances allowed. || Student’s ability to pronounce words correctly, pairing audio with text so student can follow along, teaching different languages. || Very effective if used at appropriate times. However, it should not be used as a substitute for reading text and viewing graphics. ||
 * **MP3** || Enables audio devices to play music or record and play back, files shared easily between computer systems. || Video learning applications for education, and provides support with the ability to browse the internet locating online resources. || Learners can listen to background music in an e-learning course,listen to audio that corresponds to graphics on the screen; record learner’svoice to add to an e-learning course or project. ||
 * **Podcasts** || Digital content in a series that can be subscribed to, deliver & communicate information daily such as lectures. || Podcasts can deliver information from as little as one person to an infinite number of subscribers. || Listened to on any type of audio instrument whether a computer, i-Pod, or cellular phone. Students are able to follow a complete series of podcasts at their own pace. ||
 * **Sound Effects** || Injected into a lesson that “transports the student” to a place he/she cannot see for themselves, other than in their mind. || Sound effects with text will enhance learning by allowing a student to visualize a setting without actually seeing it. || Effective in the e-learning environment as long as they are used appropriately and not used excessively. ||
 * **Text of Speech** || Converting text format into a speech or audio format. Simply type in the text you would like the narrator to read, and a computer generated voice reads what you type in. || Cost efficient, easy to update when new information comes available. Without having to do the whole recording over again, you simply edit the text || Assists visual learners that prefer to hear the information rather than read. It also sounds more professional than a personal recording. ||
 * **Video Streaming** || Works well for both synchronous and asynchronous learning tools, and for live and prerecorded online training. || When videos are properly incorporated into an e-learning course, it can improve the quality of the online experience. || Learners can view processes, learn and watch step by step procedures, hear examples, pause and review video again for missed information. ||
