Audio tutorial using Wink




This week I needed to create an audio file and "deploy" it to the web for Will's Implementing Powerful Web Tools class. I decided that I wanted to try a free Web 2.0 software utility called Wink. I made a tutorial using screen shots as I lead my class through the details of our E-classroom site. I chose to add the audio after the screen shots were ready. So after I had all the shots in order, I proceeded to record text for the frames that I wished to add audio to. All audio editting could be done on the fly. I was also able to add text to each frame and buttons that enable students to go through the tutorial at their leisure. What Wink produces is a Macromedia flash file attached to an htm file which I have sitting on zonorus. Then I embedded that address information into this blogger post. It is very large file so be careful if you have dial-up.
