Digital tools for multimedia creation

In the digital age, effective popularization of scientific work requires the use of attractive and accessible interactive formats. Digital multimedia tools allow teachers and researchers to present their academic work through videos, infographics, animations and podcasts in a clear, interesting and widely understandable way. Instead of science remaining closed within professional papers, these tools help in its visual and communicative adaptation to different target groups. In this activity, special emphasis is placed on simple, free tools that enable the creation of quality content for the promotion of science without the need for advanced technical knowledge.

5. Tools for sound processing and podcasting

Sound has recently been present in education thanks to the popularity of podcasts and digital radio shows. Audacity offers easy audio recording and editing and is available for free. Adobe Audition provides advanced processing options and effects, while GarageBand is popular among Mac users for its integration with other Apple tools.

Distribution most often takes place via Spotify for Podcasters. In the popularization of science, podcasts serve as an accessible way of explaining research, presenting scientific topics and encouraging public debate. Scientists and communicators can record introductory episodes in which they explain key concepts, talk to guests from different fields, or present current research results to a wider audience.
