Podcasting - Living in a Different Time Zone

Created by Robert H. McDonald (Indiana University) on February 3, 2005

This is my first entry in my Educause blog but is a continuation of other things I have written about for a while. I am very interested in how podcasting can be implemented for higher education in a way that could enable students to operate in a completely different "time zone" while mainly using portable digital storage devices (low cost easy to use technology) to time-delay lectures and store learning objects and other information for use during asynchronous learning.

I am listening to the mp3 file of JC Herz's lecture from the NLII meeting which is available on this site http://blog.educause.edu/uploads/jlee_reeves_HerzSpeechCondensedagain.mp3 and it is definitely worth downloading for storage on your own digital player. I just bought a creative zen micro and it is equal to or better than an ipod and it cries out for more involvement from the academic community. Digital audio is now the low threshold technology. How can we offer more to our students via this medium?

No answers for now but some good thought provoking comments anyway.
