Use Audio, Music, and Sound Effects in E-Learning #242

Using Audio and Sound Effects in E-Learning  #242: Challenge | Recap

E-learning audio is more than voice-over narration. Audio includes audio interviews, ambient sounds, natural sound effects, and background music. Used effectively, these can help draw in learners, focus their attention, and fuel their imaginations. And that's what this week's challenge is all about!
