Sound Cloud

Hi, we use sound cloud for our podcasts and you will be able to hear our tutorials and listen to our instructions for certain units.

In addition to that, you might want to use sound cloud as a way of assessment. For example we may suggest that you present some of your work as a podcast rather than it being written or presented as a video.

I have done a test podcast just to introduce the idea. But we will also do a tutorial showing you just how to set it all up!
