Mod 4 - Podcasts

The assignment says to post our audio/video on Youtube, but Youtube only wants a video file-which is here and below, but has lame visuals as I only created the audio file. I converted it at Ez-converter. Here is the file on Soundcloud.

The above (&below) podcast explains the difference between several frequently used file formats and could be used in a class like ours, informal learning opportunities, web use, or anywhere this information would be valuable.

From Public Domain Clip Art
Links that helped me when I put this assignment together:



Need to know if you can use that music clip in your assignment? I found a great licensing cheat sheet on the freemusicarchive.org There is also an amazing array of music available for use - just make sure the artist's licensing requests are considered (usually attribution in your work) and you're good to go!

I also found a great resource for public domain music at Free Music Archive. Go into the advance search and make sure you have public domain checked. The music I used is Morph by Soft and Furious.

Visual images on the web are not all public domain and also have licensing, so when you need an image off the web make sure your honoring the copyright for that image. Stinkyink.com has a great article on this. RivalIQ and Lifehacker have another good articles. I feel as an artist myself, I need to honor other creative's work correctly as I would want them to do if they were to use my work. The web is just one big community and we need to be good citizens of that community.








Tie into to our text:

Podcasts in ID can explain material while showing images, movies and graphics that illustrate the material further. This keeps the learner's visual attention on one source of visual information and doesn't split their attention. (Reiser & Dempsey, 2018, p. 55)
