No Edit Audio Podcasting

Description: Audio recording provides one of the best ways to improve oral communication skills. In this workshop we'll explore a variety of online tools which facilitate "no-edit" audio podcasting. Websites like AudioBoo, Cinch, and SoundCloud offer cloud-based audio recording and sharing using free smartphone applications as well as browser-based interfaces. Learn how no-edit audio podcasts can become important elements in students' digital portfolios.
