Similar to video, audio files can also be used as a substitute for campus-based activities, or for adding something completely new.

Audio is an efficient way to communicate with students. Studies have shown that audio actually increases the students' sense of relationship with the teacher, even more than with a video.

Audio files are suitable to replace lectures, provide authentic examples of language, music, etc.

The advantage of audio files is that once they are produced, they can be reused in different courses and several times. Thus you can give your students access to conversations wih people outside their course, which they otherwise would not have been able to. With audio files you can also supplement your course with more “in-depth” knowledge.
