Create audio podcasts to help make your words and ideas come to life for your students. And you won't need a fancy studio to do it -- your PC or Mac will do just fine! Learn how to create compelling audio content, and then record, edit, and package this content in an easily accessible podcast. Your students will be able to download your audio to their MP3 players, or listen from their computers.
What to bring (optional): A script or outline of your first episode (or an idea or thought is okay too). A photo you'd want to include with your channel.
What we'll cover:
- How to enhance face-to-face and/or online courses with audio content
- Understand what makes an audio file a "podcast"
- Use Audacity to record, edit, and compress audio files
- Use iTunes U to upload content and create your channel
- Publish an original podcast episode
- Find existing podcasts that may be useful in your courses
