[CASL-L] Audio Sync Summer Program

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Coincidentally, I did these steps just this morning because I tried to
download this week's books, but my school doesn't have Sora either. Sync
Help works fantastic; they got back to me right away. Sync works great with
Sora if you access it following directions Rita shared. One thing that
is key is making sure that you officially sign up for Sync at their site
BEFORE you try to access the Sync audiobooks through Sora. Signing up first
makes it even more seamless. I'll make a short video tutorial to show
students how to do this at my school.

Happy audio-listening/reading all!
