Is using voiceover adding any value to e-learning?
I have just come off a conference call where we were discussing whether the use of voiceover in e-learning adds any actual value to your content. I cannot find any articles online about this and tho...
Some logistical issues related to voice-over for those considering its use:
- It adds to the course production time and cost.
- If you need to produce your course in multiple languages it has a ripple effect
- Creates content maintenance issues. If your course content is subject to frequent change, you also need to change the voice-over. This leads to several related problems: your original voice talent may no longer be available, so you could end up with multiple voices in the same course. Editing audio and matching levels is time consuming and cumbersome
- Voice-over adds to the overall size of the course. If bandwidth is not an issue, then no problem.
Note: our organization does not use voice-over at all.
