Benefits of Audiobooks in education
We believe that there is enormous potential for using voice assistants like Amazon Echo or Google Home (Nest) in classrooms.
The ability to plug in the Dropbox to such devices brings even more benefits.
You could:
- create curated ‘libraries’ of audiobooks on any topic by simply uploading them to your Dropbox.
- stream those audio books from unlimited number of Echo devices that could be linked to the same Dropbox account.
- the audio books (or any audio recordings) could be streamed simultaneously by multiple Echo devices in many classrooms.
To achieve that we developed the Amazon Alexa skill (Sound Stream) for Amazon Echo devices. You can use it to stream any kind of audio (music, books, podcasts) from your personal (or corporate) Dropbox account.
You can find more details here.
We are happy to provide consultations and further assistance in using this Alexa skill.
