Technology Tuesday: Lecture Capture and Podcasting with Podcast Producer 2

The next Technology Tuesday will cover Lecture Capture and Podcasting with Podcast Producer 2: Podcasting is quickly gaining acceptance in higher education as a way to deliver new and supplemental academic content, research results and marketing/sports content. Podcasting is also being included with and playing a key role in many institution's pandemic planning. In this presentation we will cover the basics of how institutions are using podcasting today, as well as demonstrate some of the options available for content creation and delivery from any type of computer and smart podia. Mac OS X Server includes a service for automating the capture, encode and delivery process - Podcast Producer 2. With Podcast Producer you create workflows to automate the entire process making this solution very cost effective and easy on the support staff.

Featured in the Sun-Times

Sandra Guy wrote a nice feature ('New movement' in education) in the Chicago Sun-Times that covers some of the podcasting and vodcasting work we have been doing to enhance our College of Commerce MBA courses. We still have plenty of work to do but it is gratifying to get exposure like this. Not mentioned in the article is the IDD (Instructional Design and Development) department here at DePaul. IDD helped us create greenscreen introductions for staff and faculty. They do great work.

Podcasting…From Music To Marketing Success

A little bit of shameless self-promotion: I will be presenting a short session on podcasting (Podcasting…From Music To Marketing Success) for the CADM’s 8th Annual Bob Stone Education Day. This will take place on Wednesday, November 7, 2007. I will be presenting from 9:00 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. but the event will be all day. The presentation should be fun. I am looking forward to participating. Online registration is available at https://www.cadm.org/EventSignup.cfm
