A total of 15 syllabi were collected describing courses ranging from secondary schools to graduate programs. Texts used with additional suggestions are listed below. Assignments ranged from short quizes, longer exams, productions of spots, mini-docus, short programs, and working shifts on student radio stations. The thrust of the course was to teach students to transform a concept into a viable professional level, audio production.
Some schools combine audio and video production into a single class.
Some assume audio production skills may be acquired as part of the experience gained in a visual production course. It is disappointing that more programs do not appreciate the value of a solid education in audio production. The most valuable links may offer shared information between instructors. In addition, all major manufacturers of audio equipment maintain detailed sites describing the latest equipment and production techniques. Professional production publications also maintain sites offering insight into the direction the industry is moving.
