Introduction
Currently, I have two classes in the Ed Tech department. One involves interface design, and the other involves current technologies (podcasting, blogging and wikis). The psychology behind the theory of design resonates strongly because of my previous background in the creative arts industry. I’m finding the Gestalt principles apply across the board in many disciplines: proximity, similarity, closure, continuity, symmetry. And the use of color is something that needs to be used but needs to be used with maximum impact. I feel the same about technologies or glitz that can be added to websites. Just because the ability exists does not mean that it is prudent that you do it. The brain functioning behind the technology aspect is intriguing and needs to be addressed in all decisions when composing a site. Each time something is included, or excluded, a decision needs to be made if it is serving the user.
Take the Challenge
Working with Audacity becomes easier each time you employ the software. It has many features that enable you to perform different functions, and the best was to discover what it is the program can do is to make a copy of what you have and then try out the features. I found that by cutting and pasting tracks where I wanted them over an existing piece was an easy fix. I have enjoyed working with this software and would like to see what other possibilities it has.
