As you know, the [[EVE University Class Library]] is an invaluable knowledge base for new [[capsuleer]]s. This guide will illustrate, step-by-step, how to record, encode, edit and upload your class recordings. We encourage [[unista]]s to record classes they attend. | |||

Laura Karpinski has made a wonderful video tutorial covering all of the basics: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrFPak7Ltco Recording Classes for EVE University] | |||

After you record the lecture, you might need to edit it: the class might have started late and you want to remove the first 2 mins or maybe you forgot to stop the recording and you recorded 30mins of silence. Whatever the reason, if you need to edit the file, you can use a software such as [https://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity], its a free, multi-platform and easy to use program and in the following sections we'll demonstrate its use. You can always use other software if you prefer to do so. | |||

Please download & install [https://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity] and install the [https://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq_i18n?s=install&i=lame-mp3 lame encoder for audacity], we'll need it to export our class audio files into mp3 in later steps. You can download audacity from [https://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ this link] and lame encoder for audacity from [https://lame.buanzo.com.ar/ this link]. Please check [https://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3 this page] for instructions on properly installing the encoder. We will not provide the details of installing the software or the encoder as the steps or methods may vary between different platforms. | |||

* Now it's time to edit the audio file. We may need to cut out some parts from the beginning if you started recorded earlier than class start. (and that's more preferable than missing some parts of the class, so whenever possible, you should start recording a bit early and then take these parts out) see the image below for the next step. | * Now it's time to edit the audio file.

==Uploading== | == Uploading == | ||
You can use [https://eve-files.com EVE-Files] to upload your EVE related files, or any other publicly accessible file storage service, e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive. Just remember that the file may need to be kept available for a very long time, so don't use a service that automatically deletes files after a short period of inactivity. | |||
