| Have you heard about Podcasting and wonder if it could hold value for you in the courses you teach? This short course will provide participants with everything they need to know to begin their own podcast. In addition to defining key concepts and related terminology, this short course will provide an overview of the ways in which podcasting is being used in higher education and beyond. In addition to this conceptual overview, much of this short course will be spent teaching participants how to record, edit, and save audio in preparation for podcasting. Participants also will leave this session with knowledge concerning the podcasting resources on campus.
