Semester Project Reflection

Carolyn Uncategorized

For my semester project, I worked with Jen to come up with a plan to make an Audacity tutorial using the Screencast-O-Matic software that is available online.  Screencast was a good choice for me to use because I was already familiar with it from using it for a presentation in a class in the Fall semester. I began by planing out the different parts of Audacity I would talk about in my tutorial, including how and where to download Audacity, how to start recording the podcast, and adding music. For this project I really wanted to focus on how to add music from the Creative Commons located on the UNE ePortfolio website. In my tutorial, I walked though how to find the UNE ePortfolio site and find the link to the Free Music Archive, how to search different genres and download the music to your computer, and how to input it into Audacity. This project accurately displays the knowledge gained from working at DigiSpace by combining different aspects both audio and video projects. While the project using a video software program, the video itself demonstrates how to also use audio software, such as Audacity.  Additionally, I was able to use the Screencast software to edit my video, similarly to how one can edit on an iMovie project.  Overall, this this project served multiple purposes. The tutorial created can help students with starting their podcasts using Audacity, and how to add free music to enhance their projects.  While creating this tutorial, I learned more about Audacity, such as how to speed up the audio and the different kinds of effects that can be applied to a podcast. I also learned how to take audio directly from iTunes and drag it to Audacity to quickly add the audio. This let me know that essentially, students can add anything they have in their iTunes or Garage Band files. Surprisingly, this audio/video project turned out to be a fairly good project with some feedback from my peers.
