Coursecasting

edit Steve McCarty 2006-04-15 15:48 WST  ·

The author has started coursecasting, that is, making the lecture parts of an upper division Bilingual Education course available to students for reviewing and listening practice in English as a Foreign Language. To use iTunesU, as we wished to from day one in January, we have to wait for Apple Japan to localize it into a Japanese language interface. Meanwhile there are some alternatives to do it oneself virtually for free. This podcast also discusses how podcasts for education need to get organized to be reuseable, sharable, searchable audio learning objects.
