Course Narration

When it comes to narration for eLearning courses, there is a lot more to a successful outcome than just the ability to record an audio file.

There are actually three components in getting to a great product:

1. Copywriting for the medium
2. Interpreting copy and pacing of the narrator
3. Quality engineering of the microphone type, placement, setting and recording environment

Generally speaking, the narration needs to augment the visuals and the rest of the course content and never repeat textual content verbatim. The ability to write economincally and clearly makes course content easier to digest with less cognitive load. If any of these considerations are missed, your multimedia content will fall flat.
