Using Background Audio & Music in E-Learning #442

Background Audio in E-Learning #442: Challenge | Recap

Ask a group of course designers how to make e-learning more engaging, and you'll get plenty of suggestions for using images, videos, and animations more effectively. The visuals and interactive elements are good places to start.

But when you want to establish an atmosphere or sense of location that immerses your learners in the topic, you'll need to layer in some ambient music. And that's what this week's challenge is all about!
