Activity Audio Activity

Activity Audio allows playing an audio track for a specific ActivitySlide. Once the slide is selected the next slide determines what audio to play. Activity Audio is continued between slides, only if the next slide uses the same Activity Audio selection. Of course background audio can always continue between slides. In Addition to music, spoken word audio recording can be selected to describe the specific slide or give relevant information.
