Audio only (MP3) You can record (and edit) audio using free software called Audacity. An alternative is to use a stand-alone MP3 recorder, such as a Sony ICD-UX71, which is around £70. The MP3 file can be uploaded as a standard Blackboard ‘Item’ or using the special Podcast LX option. Students will be able to listen again to the lecture and refer to the slides (which you also made available on Blackboard) provided you use slide numbers and say things like “moving on to slide 7″ while you lecture. This method is low cost, but requires some tutor effort to record, edit and upload the MP3 file. Synote One solution to the problem above is to use Synote, a web-based service that enables students to add markers that identify specific points in audio and video recordings. Adobe Presenter

From The Tips Box: Stream Music via Google Docs Once a week we mine the tips box for awesome reader tips; this week we’re sharing a rather clever work around that allows you to stream your music collection from Google Docs. How-To Geek reader Andrew wrote in with the following tip detailing how you can turn Google Docs into a slimmed down and personalized version of Google Music. He writes: Guide to playing music on Google Docs The recent announcement of Google Music is great news, but it’s only available if you live in the US. To do this, you need a sync app like Syncdocs, and a media player like iTunes, Windows Media Player or VLC. 1. Syncdocs syncs these files to Google Docs, so you can just download the playlist files from another browser and open them to play your music. What’s great is that you don’t need the big audio files on the device you are using to play the music. Open the playlist in Windows Media Player, VLC, Winamp or iTunes on any other PC or Mac. Jason Fitzpatrick is warranty-voiding DIYer and all around geek.

How to Make Google Music Your Secondary Media Player (and Why You Should) You mentioned in the article that if you re-select the library, it won't actually re-upload everything, it'll just add in deleted items. Does this apply for PC move as well? I changed PC's recently, and want to set Google Music back up, but I'm afraid it's going to try and re-upload my entire library. Does it just do a compare of tracks to what's on the server? This I do not know. Ugh, I hope not. It would take a bit longer, but you could always set it to just upload at night. UPDATE: I ran it over night last night and despite the fact that when it started it claimed need 5000 tracks, when I came back to my PC this morning, it had changed to around 4,400 and was already over 4,100 "uploaded". As a side note, when I did it on my old computer, I just selected the iTunes folder (I can't remember if selecting iTunes itself was an option then). Awesoooome! And yeah, for what it's worth, uploading from iTunes has been an option since day 1.
