A teacher in my department has made using Audacity a requirement for her course and it is 20% of the students grade. She teaches AP Spanish and has used Audacity for the last few years.
She has found a students’ recordings has great quality, it is easier to evaluate
their voice files, and the students’ overall preparation for the exam.
It is very easy to have students record regularly and place their files
into a shared folder where she can access them, offer feedback, and the
students can then listen again with her comments. Our technology department
helped establish shared folders for students to be able to submit a work group
and aid in turning in their files.
The students and my colleague really
love using this Audacity. The students feel they are getting good feedback and
great practice for their actual test day. Anything beats using those old
cassette tapes!!
