Some recent articles have suggested that podcasting may not be an appropriate tool in higher education. However, in reviewing the content, one will find the focus has been on the “broadcasting of lectures” for students. At Georgia College & State University where the first iPod initiative in higher education was started in 2002, there was a challenge in demonstrating the iPod was more than a little boombox. Today, those in higher education must move beyond the lecture to an environment of student engagement.

In Part 2 of the series, participants will hear ways that podcasting can be used to enhance the educational experience beyond the classroom and lecture.

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

Describe materials used to enhance the learning experience

Describe activities that engage the student in knowledge production

Develop ideas for campus implementation

Who should attend?

All higher education academic and student support faculty & staff
