Creating Streaming Audio Lectures on the Web
A one-week online course.

Streaming audio lectures on the web are an exciting new way to enhance your teaching and improve your students' learning. In this one week online course, you will discover how to create streaming narrated slide shows for online delivery.

Who Should Attend
"Creating Streaming Audio Lectures on the Web" is geared for any teacher or faculty member interested in putting streaming narrated slide shows on the web.

It is equally relevant for professors teaching online, and for traditional classroom (face to face) courses.

Why Streaming Audio
For traditional classroom courses, streaming audio lectures save you time. They allow you to use valuable classroom time for advanced issues and discussion. And they save ongoing lecture preparation time.

For online courses, streaming audio lectures enhance online learning by providing audio and visual components to the written material.

For both contexts, students are able to access your audio lectures at their peak learning times and replay sections as needed for greater retention.

How the Online Course Works
1. You can participate anytime, as often as you like. The online course is "asynchronous," which means you can ask questions and make comments anytime, day or night. Your instructor will log onto the course 6-10 times a day to answer questions and make comments. It is suggested you allocate 1-2 hours a day for participation.

2. You only need RealPlayer. The only special software you need is RealPlayer, which will allow you to listen to the audio portion of the course. The software is free and can be downloaded from www.real.com/products/player
