ALISON, the online learning website, today officially announced the release of a new free online course on how to create your very own Podcasts. Developed by the award-winning multimedia teacher Russell Stannard, the course is ideal for anyone looking to record and share audio and video podcasts with others over the web.

They can also be used by students and teachers to share information. For example, podcast recordings can be used as a preparation tool for students prior to classes; as a study aid for weaker students or those who missed classes; or to communicate curriculum, assignment and other information with parents and the community.
In the video-lessons you will learn:

• How to add effects and improve sound quality
• How to add information to the podcast

The video-based tutorials are delivered by the award-winning multimedia teacher and Warwick University teaching fellow Russell Stannard.
