Using PowerPoint in Angel
Windows Media
Windows Movie Maker
+ Examples of the above
Reflections on MS applicationsPost to the Discussion Board Which Microsoft applications are you familiar with? Which ways of using these applications in Angel are
you comfortable with (e.g., copying & pasting in a page, uploading to Angel, outputting to another format, linking to an external server, importing into a quiz)?
Are there any other ways that you would like to use these aps for your online course (specify the course)?
Are there any that you do not particularly want or need to use in your online course? Specify the course or discipline.
Using sound in your online or web-enhanced course SourceForge Audacity [link]
Other sound editors
What is a podcast? [links]
Example:Using Audacity to provide comments on a student's oral recording [link]Describes how language teachers can import a student recording, record comments and corrections, export the file as an mp3, and teach listeners to hear one or both tracks. Format: m4a Author: Marsha Chan Software used to create the
podcast: Audacity, GarageBand, iPhoto, Word
Incorporating photos, movies, and other web-based learning objects iLife: Apple's suite of applications for photos, webpages, music, movies,
DVDs, etc [link]
Using images in your online course Send an image to students by email. Insert an image in Word,
PowerPoint, or Articulate. [link] Use it in an enhanced podcast. [link] Upload to a web server and link it to
your Angel course. Link a photo to your personal info:
your photo appears when you send email & post to a discussion board.
Link an image to an Angel page, an Announcement, a quiz page.
