The audio format is a single-screen activity where learners must listen to an audio file to finish the session. It’s ideal for podcasts, guided instructions, meditations, or any voice-led experience.

📍 Why use the audio format?

Use this format to:

Deliver meditations, music, or voice recordings
Share podcasts or audio stories (for example, stories on the floor)
Let learners focus on listening without reading text
Support different learning styles (especially audio learners)
