Here, we've covered some innovative ways to use audio to spark things and engage students thoroughly in eLearning.
Use audio to explain and engage students in complex concepts
Audios work best with diagrams, graphics, and complex concepts. Integrating audio will help engage students and add a fun element to it if you're working on a difficult concept. Students will benefit from audio along with imagery if the option fits. For instance, if you are conducting an online workshop or event that requires the learner to follow the process of repairing a device, you can offer a detailed narration along with pictures/video that'd explain each step comprehensively.Storytelling
People love stories. It engages them, captures their interest for a long and enhances their learning experience. Storytelling is an art, and using audio input to provide an enriching experience to students can improve their learning journey. Using audio to immerse learners through storytelling can work wonders.

Assessments are a challenging part of education. They're often looked over. However, there are many ways to make assessments fun instead of something to be avoided or feared upon. Consider asking students to create an audio presentation to assess their knowledge. Ask your students to record audio presentations based on how much they know about a subject topic or at the end of a particular module to showcase their learning. This can be done as a narrated presentation or something more innovative, such as a group collaboration project requiring all students to record a real-life scenario based on the concepts they've learned. This will help you gauge their learning progress and engage them in something unusual. Also, read the Best Ways To Do Assessment In Virtual ClassroomsHire Voice-Over Artists for Personalisation
