Key Findings

 Students find ‘smart device’ recording methods very natural and less stressful versus current methods

School technology investments are very diverse (desktop vs. laptop vs. tablet), and in-school

internet connections are unreliable

 Confirmed current CD burning to be a labor-intensive and problematic process

 Multiple capture solutions are necessary to support access and contingencies

•100 Students, across 12 Classrooms in 9 Schools •Diverse demography (urban, suburban, rural)

Students in the pilot utilized existing software on ‘smart devices’ to capture and upload spoken responses, which were then able to be securely accessed and played back over the web

App or Web-based

Audio Capture Secure, Web-based Playback Upload & Store in Cloud
