Answer: Forward a copy to another person's mailbox with or with out an introductory message from you.Your mailbox can be accessed from anywhere in the world any time of the day.By setting up group lists you can send one message and have it received by multiple people.Save messages for later retrieval without writing over previous messages.Use a system generated greeting or create your own.Replay the entire message or just the previous/last 10 seconds at any time in the message.From one call you can review, reply, send, or forward as many messages as needed.Receive and print faxes or emailMessages you receive may be replied back to with a touch of a button, no need to return a call.EILville (example of Audio, Drawing, and Comparing)Sometimes teachers can’t find the right materials they want, so they create them. This was the case for EIL. The EIL program administers the SLEP test. On the test was a map section. This would often cause problems because it which was different from any exercise we did in class. To help the students become familiar with the map exercise format we developed a practice exercise we call EILville. Open the link to EILville and do the exercise.Briefly describe what you thought of the exercise (summary/reaction). Answer: It is a good exercise. Teachers can create different levels and kinds of exercise. They can add any pictures, audios, videos to the exercise. If the exercise file is saved as a word file, students no need to go online to do it.Explain other ways the compare document feature could be used by a teacher or student in a writing class. Answer: A lot of plagiarism checkers are available online only. If you want to check plagiarism of students’ assignment, you can use the compare document feature. It helps!Audio Recording SoftwareThere is a lot of software that can be used to record your voice to a computer. One piece of software I like is called Audacity. Audacity is a free download from a short multitrack recording using Audacity or other recording software. Try to export it as an MP3 or .wav file (a .mp3 is smaller). Then turn your recording into a lesson by asking questions about it. Be as creative as you want, but keep the recording to under a minute.You can either save your audio file on the desktop and then drag it onto your document like in the sample lesson below, or you can save your audio file in your portfolio folder and then create a hyperlink to it.Sample Lesson (This lesson fits the minimum requirements and would probably get a “C” grade. For a higher grade, make your lesson better.)Directions: Click on the audio and answer the questions that follow.Notice that this is a .mp3 file. If your file says .aup, it means it is an Audacity project file and it won’t work on any other computer. Export to .wav or .mp3 Audio: Questions:What month was it? DecemberWhat was the weather like? Winter Who were the main characters? Sue and AkhmudHow long have they known each other? All their livesYour Audio RecordingLesson:1. Who are in this conversation?2. What kind of reaction will turn the lady’s hairs grey?3. Who has only grey hairs?Audio, Email, and FeedbackSome semesters I give my students assignments to email me short audio recordings they have made. These recordings are usually only a minute or two. To provide feedback, I open their audio file with an audio player, like Windows Media Player. I also open Audacity at the same time. I start recording in Audacity saying, “Aloha, I’m going to listen to your recording and make some comments.” Then I start the student’s recording and place the microphone near the speaker to record what they have said. When I hear a mistake or something I like, I pause their recording and record my comments. Sometimes I even rewind their recording a little bit and play the bad or good part a few times so they can see what I’m talking about.Using Audacity or an MP3 Recorder (available in the Language Center), interview someone about a hot topic: cafeteria food, Seasider prices, computer lab hours, immodesty of BYUH students at the beach, etc. Keep it short (less than a minute). Then as you play the recording use Audacity to make comments and described in the procedure above. Export your Audacity recording to an .mp3 or .wav file and link it or put it below.[ Ask the lab workers to help set up speakers if you need to.]Your Feedback CommentsRecording: Google Search “a mp3” or “an mp3”. Make sure to use “quotation marks”. Which is more correct or more common? Which do you prefer?Answer: I think “An mp3” is more correct and common because we need to use "an" when the word begins with a vowel sound, even if the first letter is a consonant.FYI Other Recorders:Check out .
