Rosetta Stone language tutorial (as an HCI examplae)

www.rosettastone.com

I should have sent away for the free demo CD last semester when I was in DCTE770 (the tutorial class)
with Dr. Snyder. I would have TRIED to emulate some of the techniques used in a professional tutorial.

Unfortunately the demo CD never did get past the introduction, where you did get a feel for the
"immersion interaction" of the Rosetta language tutorial. The CD hung and wouldn't go into any of the
actual demos. It is probably my computer not having the right drivers.

Of course it was only me, myself and I doing my project tutorial, but my tutorial looks and sounds so
amateurish compared to the professional version.

The most obvious problem for me was my audio quality. Rosetta Stone HAS to be using quality audio recording equipment instead of a cheap microphone plugged into the back of a PC.

I spent A LOT of time re-recording audio clips and never was satisfied with the quality and sound (volume) level from clip to clip.
