There is additional information available if you are recording audio only (eg a 'podcast')

There are several methods that you can use to record audio or and video. Choose the one that suits you best, but first and foremost you must adhere to any guidance from your module convener. 

Bear these factors in mind:

• Familiarise yourself with the equipment and software
• Find a quiet place
• Practice as if you were recording
• Imagine your audience and speak directly to them
• Speak slowly and consistently
• Avoid hesitations, repetitions, overly long silences, informal expressions, saying “er”, “um” and maintain an appropriation tone.

To record audio or and video, you will need:

• A desktop, laptop or tablet computer (other devices may be used, as outlined in Method 3).
• A headset with a microphone or speakers and a separate microphone (microphones may be built into your device or webcam)
• A webcam (this might be built into your laptop)
• A reliable internet connection (If video of you is required)
• A quiet place to record.
