Strong skills in Elluminate/use of Skype - need to get to know other systems. Created a short podcast using Audacity, hosted in the cloud and linked to from H808 |
The competence I chose was experience of audio and visual facilities of the web and the evidence I chose the podcast created in Unit 5. Podcasting is a skill useful for teaching practise, as a means of communication and involves using specific software. The content of the podcast was a critique of using forums with online groups and therefore can be mapped against this criterion also. To create a podcast I used Audacity, a piece of software I have used before, so I was able to explore the editing functions a little more. The podcast was hosted on Podbean which meant getting to know a new hosting site and exploring is functions.

I consider my level of competency to be above average as I was experienced to know that I needed to script it, read through to identify tricky words and phrases and work in pauses to keep the pace right. I was able to edit the podcast, adjusting the pitch and amplitude and filtering out noise to create a sound I was happy with. My experience of other hosting sites, such as Wordpress and Youtube meant I was quickly able to find my way around Podbean and provide a link from the H808 forum. I didn't assess as myself as strong, or expert because I still think there are things to learn about podcasting, such as frequent summaries and better use of emphasis and tone. There are also still things to learn about audacity.
In this self assessment I have not only decided my own level of competency, but also have defined those levels myself. Others may have different views on what constitutes below or above average and strong and on my view of my own level.
