Drupal is the Official UCalgary Podcasting Solution
I was just in a meeting with some folks in our campus IT department, where we were trying to figure out what the official University of Calgary supported podcasting solution would be. We were basically trying to decide if we should jump onto iTunesU in a big way, or roll our own service. iTunesU is... »
ETSTalk Episode #16
I just got off the line with Cole, Alan and Brad - the ETS edtech crüe at PSU, where we recorded an episode of ETSTalk. I babbled for a bit about what I do here (and it was likely as clear to them as to me :-) ), then we... »
Our DIY Podcasting System
It's taking some time to get the Podcasting program off the ground here at UCalgary. In the meantime, here's a preview of our beta distribution system.UCalgary Podcast Distribution (beta) I've heard rumours that we're working on a more scalable system, and I'm looking forward to that. The dubbing facility is just about maxed out... »
Penn State Podcasts with Drupal
Cole just posted a note about PSU's podcasting training session, including a screenshot and link to the Podcasts @ PSU website. Looks very well done - I'm sure we'll be borrowing liberally from it when we get our butts moving here. What's interesting to me is that the site is done in Drupal. Taxonomies to... »
iTunes U now has podcasting
I hadn't visited an iTunes U site for awhile, so this may not be new. I just checked out the Berkeley iTunes U to see what they're doing with it, and notice the shiny "Subscribe" button when viewing a topic. I don't remember that being there before, when I was poking around in the... »
Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, etc… for classrooms
My copy of Will's book "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms" just came in. Looks like it's going to be a pretty good read, providing the perspective of an in-the-trenches teacher, rather than just the geek echochamber I usually expose myself to... The book is definitely on top of my nonfiction... »
Intro to Podcasting Session Recording
We were able to record that Intro to Podcasting presentation I gave on Wednesday, and the video has been processed and compressed. The audio is a bit wonky because the microphones were fixed and all turned on - and I wasn't wearing a lapel mic so I get hard to hear as I wander... »
Intro to Podcasting Session
I checked the registration for the session tomorrow - it's up to 50 people. We'll have to open the extra wings in the Big Room, but there will be lots of room for all. I just tested the visualizer to make sure it showed my old 3G iPod clearly, and it looked like a Stevenote... »
Samson USB Microphone
I ordered a Samson CO1U USB "podcasting" microphone to use for my upcoming podcasting workshop. Brian has one, and it's a beauty. Nice and heavy, and seems to have really nice and rich audio quality. Better than my little USB headset, Powerbook built-in mic, or iSight camera offer, anyway. It was cheap, too -... »
Intro to Podcasting
I'll be giving an "Intro to Podcasting" workshop/presentation/session on Wednesday April 19th here at the Learning Commons Teaching & Learning Centre. I've only got an hour, and it will be an "intro" session, so I'll follow Levine's Law and start with the demo. Then, I'll stick with the demo, showing different tools used to... »
