Description
This third activity sheet is part of the “Introduction to video content creation” series created by BSF. The activity “Translate your favorite book into an audiobook” takes place over half a day, depending on the participants’ level of digital literacy. It concentrates on sound recording and leaves video editing aside. We are talking audio editing here, but still using the same software! Each participant/group leaves with an audio book to listen to anywhere, anytime. It is a fun and friendly way to discover step-by-step how to create and distribute digital content, even without an Internet connection.
This activity can also be carried out without IDEAS CUBE, but will not include the “QR Code” part.
Objectives
Choosing a book suitable for audio adaptation; Planning audio recordings in pairs or independently; Creating a complete audio book; Encouraging the participants’ creativity; Strengthening social ties through literary expression.
