Claire Bradin Siskin and
David Malicki University of Pittsburgh QuickTime movies, found in many language learning programs and on the Web, allow students to control language input. In this workshop designed for beginners, participants will learn how to create the audio-only QuickTime "movies" with a freeware program. They will learn how to manipulate the files with QuickTime Pro, a $30 program. They will learn to incorporate QuickTime into several software applications, CALL authoring programs, and Web pages. Handouts and an accompanying Web page will be provided. Macintosh computers will be used for the workshop; however, QuickTime movies can be created and played on Windows-based computers as well. The following topics will be covered: Overview; pedagogical justification for using QuickTime QuickTime Player basics Difference between QuickTime and QuickTime Pro Creating and editing audio-only movies QuickTime mechanics: Control Panel and "Get Movie Info" Manipulating audio tracks Audio compression and quality Using QuickTime in software applications for language learning Using QuickTime in CALL authoring tools Configuring Web browsers for QuickTime Web "EMBED" tags for QuickTime For most of these points, short demonstrations will be followed by hands-on practice. |
