Audio recording can be highly beneficial in an educational setting. It is the process of digitally capturing content given in a lecture or other group environments. Listed below are links on recording discussions, how to edit and distribute audio files.
You can choose to record into a sound-editing program directly, record during a discussion on a smart phone (using a lapel microphone) or by using a mp3 recorder.
