Guidelines for Audio Recording in Medical Educational Media

Abstract

This article emphasizes the importance of recording high-quality audio for multimedia2 education in the Faculty of Medicine at Siriraj Hospital, particularly in the context of the increasingly popular online learning format, where students can access the content anytime, anywhere. The recording of medical instructors' voices, which often contain specialized terminology, is crucial. If there are issues with audio quality, such as lack of clarity, it may prevent students from properly understanding the content. Therefore, the quality of the recorded audio has a significant impact on the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. To achieve excellent audio recording quality for lecture-based educational media within the Faculty of Medicine at Siriraj Hospital, three key factors must be considered: 1) Selecting an appropriate microphone, considering its type and sound pickup pattern. 2) Choosing a recording location that is free from echo and background noise. 3) Determining the optimal distance from the microphone. The article discusses the relationship between these three factors and how they can enhance the efficiency of recording lectures, resulting in clear audio without interference. This, in turn, improves the overall quality of the educational media and enhances the effective transfer of knowledge to the learners.
