I am very critical of those learning environments because it is easy to claim that technology enhances education without considering the dark side of ICTs.
It was time to give the platform a try. After all, the university is also advocating the use of FLOSS, so...The creation of a virtual environment was rather easy, but to produce content is perhaps the most time-consuming activity. Fortunately, my basic GIMP skills gave me a decent standing concerning the presentation of the different sections.
Then I decided to go ahead and produce a simple video. For this task, I selected Audacity (for recording/editing sound) and Kdenlive (for the video sequence).
I was expecting many problems because I am not an expert in sound/video. In addition, it was my first time with Kdenlive.
The video-creating process was pretty straight-forward, however. I got the still images and organized them to fit the sound track that I produced with Audacity and I never felt confused or got stuck; everything was intuitive.
Of course, my video was very simple, but I can say that Kdenlive and Audacity make a powerful combo for beginners who need to produce a quick video for a presentation.
I need to keep experimenting with them.
That's right. I just made my first audio tracks using a tablet to record and then editing the files with Audacity. The second step will be to use Kdenlive or Openshot to add some images and make the videos. Life is good when FOSS backs you up! :D
