This episode features audio recorded during a March 2008 Center for Teaching workshop titled “Podcasting: What Is It and Why Would You Want To Do It?” We’re splitting this workshop over two podcast episodes. The previous episode featured a discussion of the roles podcasting can play in and out of the classroom in the service of student learning. This second episode features a discussion from the March workshop of some of the technical and logistical aspects of producing and using podcasts via remarks made by two of the workshop facilitators:
Melanie Moran, Assistant Director for Web Communications, Public Affairs Office
Brian Smokler, Manager of Instructional Systems, Technology Support Center at Peabody College, and Video Technical Manager, Public Affairs Office
Please take a minute or two to leave a comment here and share your thoughts about podcasting in higher education. We’re interested in hearing what you have to say. Vanderbilt instructors are also welcome to call the Center for Teaching at 615-322-7290 to arrange a meeting with a CFT teaching consultant to discuss podcasting or any other aspect of their teaching.

This first episode features a discussion of the roles podcasting can play in and out of the classroom in the service of student learning. Why might you want to produce a podcast for your course? Why might you want students to produce podcasts as part of their course work? How can you make the most out of either option? These and other teaching-related questions will be explored in this first episode via remarks made by two of the workshop facilitators:
Michael Risen, Graduate Teaching Fellow, Center for Teaching
Jeff Johnston, Assistant Director, Center for Teaching, and Lecturer, Earth & Environmental Sciences

This episode continues the format change of our last one. It features audio recorded during an April 2008 lunch discussion co-sponsored by the Center for Teaching and the Vanderbilt Center for Ethics. The discussion was part of our joint Technology, Values, and Teaching series and was titled “The Mediated Classroom: Ways That Computer and Other Technologies Are Transforming the Space of Communication and Relationships.” The episode includes opening remarks made by the two panelists at that discussion:
John Sloop, Professor of Communication Studies and Associate Dean in the College of Arts & Science, and
Jonathan Gilligan, Senior Lecturer in Environmental Science and Public Policy.
In their remarks, both panelists began exploring the ways in which technology is changing how we communicate and relate to another, particularly in physical and virtual classroom spaces.
