Social Software, Social Revolution 12/29/2006, Matt Villano

Created by Julie K. Little (EDUCAUSE) on June 5, 2007

Linda Herkenhoff, associate professor of quantitative analysis and organizational behavior Graduate School of Business, Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, CA, creatively uses podcasts to teach quantitative methods in Business. She creates short (10 min max) vodcasts (video podcasts) on topics that she knows are very difficult for her students to grasp during normal class presentations. Hosted in her course web site, students can retrieve and repetitively review the files until the concepts become clear. She also asks students to create short podcasts teaching the basic concepts and methods to "their grandmothers,” therefore using very simple, layperson's language. Student reviews of both strategies have been very positive. Full article available: http://campustechnology.com/articles/41720_3/
