Including audio in your courses has never been easier. SHIFT allows users to record audio directly into their courses. Users on tight budgets or those who may not have time to book a studio can quickly and easily record voiceovers with nothing more than a good headset and microphone plugged into their laptop. It's also ideal for situations where content may be changing frequently and the narration has to match. Simply download the Active Audio Recording (AAR) control from the Tools area of the course map and follow the steps laid out in the attached reference guide and you will be recording your own audio in no time!

UK eLearning consultant Clive Shepard recently discussed Shift on Clive on Learning. He talks about our model as a real plus to eLearning developers: But what's interesting about this tool is not that it's web-based, but in the commercial model: Purchasers have completely free access to the tool to develop content. MindMuze (North American Distributors) are proactive in providing support and advice to help you both creatively and technically in coming up with effective content. You pay only when you publish content, on the basis of the number of 'pages' in the content. This is an output-oriented model, so MindMuze has every incentive to help you make productive use of the tool. Why? Because they make money from what you produce rather than from the product sitting on the shelf. In adopting this model, MindMuze are taking on a lot more of the commercial risk. They are also demonstrating a great deal of confidence in their product. With our new Brandon Hall Awards, we are definitely confident about SHIFT - more details coming soon!
