I'd like to give this a try, not to replace an actual class meeting, but to add some variety to the VLE materials I upload to accompany weekly lectures. Two questions:
1. Is there any particular advantage to Audacity over Garage Band (already on my Mac)?
2. Is it possible to embed an AV file within a PP slide so that it is playable if students download the file? When I've tried this with embedded movie clips in the past using the PPS format, the initial frame shows up on the slide but there's no link to the actual file. Is there any way to upload a PowerPoint file to the VLE that will allow for embedded audio or video to remain playable?
