Audio Information and Media

This document discusses audio information and media. It defines audio as sound, especially when recorded, transmitted or reproduced. Audio media uses audio or recordings to deliver information through sounds. Characteristics of good audio include clarity, relevance, appropriate pitch, length, language and unbiased content. Common audio formats are MP3, M4A, WAV, and WMA. Analog audio replicates original sound waves while digital audio converts sounds to digital code. Audio information can be in the form of radio broadcasts, music, sound recordings, sound effects or audio podcasts. Advantages of audio include extending voice and music while limitations include needing extra resources and costs. Strong lesson planning and trained teachers are needed to effectively use audio in education.
