What is it?
à Recording lectures for playback over iPods, MP3, other audio devices.
à Students can listen to lectures and/or discussions.
Testimonials:
Beth Wyatt and Rick Whisonant are among several instructors that are currently podcasting their lectures.
Why use it?
à For students whose learning styles are predominantly logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, or kinesthetic, listening to your MP3 discussion can help them build their verbal/linguistic skills (which is how we primarily test).
à You might pre-record basic information for students to listen to before coming to class so that you can use class time for application requiring critical thinking.
à Using MP3 may improve student retention in your programs by giving students an additional opportunity for learning.
à The MP3 recordings provide content information in their cars, at home, while exercising, etc.--accessible any time of day!
à Students can record MP3 presentations that you can upload to your podcasting site, pending your approval.
Process:
| 1. | Contact Ginger Dewey to discuss how you might use podcasting in your classes. |
| 2. | Once you decide to proceed, Ginger Dewey will set up the recording computer with the appropriate software. |
| 3. | Check out a microphone from the ETC. |
| 4. | Teach your class as you normally do. The audio will be recorded and can be used later. It only takes about 3 extra minutes per day to broadcast and archive your lectures. |
| 5. | Ginger Dewey will assist you in transferring the file to a webpage where it can be podcast. |
