It is essential to have the Audacity program and the LAME plug-in installed prior to starting this WebQuest.

It is important to check that the Audacity program is
 * Recording from the microphone
 * Exporting as an .mp3 file

The above should be checked prior to the workshop where this WebQuest is to be used.

The WebQuest facilitator should make sure that they have a working knowledge of both the Audacity program and the ICDL website.

This WebQuest was created to be used in a professional development environment with teachers to give them the experience of creating a podcast from a student-centered point of view. The suggested time for this activity (when done with adults) is 60 minutes.
