Parents will need to have downloaded the free editing software, Audacity® before the start of the first class. Students would benefit from accessing the lesson on a separate device to the device used for the video and audio editing tasks as this will allow them to view the demonstrations as they complete their own tasks - they may also find it beneficial to use headphones during class. 

The software can be downloaded at: 
https://www.audacityteam.org/download/

Students will also need access to sound effects/royalty free music, which parents can download. The website www.zapsplat.com is great for accessing a range of sounds and parents are advised to create a free account to download a sample of sound effects/music before class. No payment details are required for the free sound downloads. (Alternative sound effect libraries are available at https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/search).

PLEASE NOTE: Parents and guardians will need to download and install the free software, Audacity® and students should try and explore the software interfaces before the start of the first session. Students will not be able to engage in the sessions if they do not have access to the software. Likewise, it is essential that parents and guardians support students in downloading any relevant teacher created files needed for class before the start of each session (posted 24 hours in advance). Parents and guardians should check before signing up to the course that they can download Audacity® and that the software runs on the student computer. The class is taught via on-screen demonstration - students will require a 2nd device to watch the lesson on.

You are advised to supervise your children if they are using online services to research and source sounds. There are many useful resources which offer guidance on how to keep your children safe online, such as https://www.childnet.com/parents-and-carers/parent-and-carer-toolkit.
