Podcasting Lecture Capture – technologies « TELic: A blog about Technology Enhanced Learning Lecture Capture – technologies There are many technologies that can be used to record lectures, and this page outlines some of the options available (or being considered) at the University of Southampton. Audio only (MP3) You can record (and edit) audio using free software called Audacity. An alternative is to use a stand-alone MP3 recorder, such as a Sony ICD-UX71, which is around £70. The MP3 file can be uploaded as a standard Blackboard ‘Item’ or using the special Podcast LX option. Students will be able to listen again to the lecture and refer to the slides (which you also made available on Blackboard) provided you use slide numbers and say things like “moving on to slide 7″ while you lecture. This method is low cost, but requires some tutor effort to record, edit and upload the MP3 file. Synote One solution to the problem above is to use Synote, a web-based service that enables students to add markers that identify specific points in audio and video recordings. Adobe Presenter

Fic­tion & Lit­er­a­ture FreeAudio.org -- Free Audio Books on Liberty and Freedom Podcasting Remember the good old days of TV and radio? Everyone would gather around to be entertained. Shows were broadcast at specific times and if you weren't there on time, you missed it <boo>. Broadcasts disappeared into the ether. Well, things have changed. Here's the big idea. Here are three reasons why podcasting is becoming so popular. The first is that anyone can do it. The second is subscriptions. The third reason is gadgetry. So, let's look at how Jason uses podcasts. He uses the web everyday, rides the bus to work and loves Japanese culture. Recently he found a podcast by a Western couple living in Tokyo. Podcasting made it happen.

From The Tips Box: Stream Music via Google Docs Once a week we mine the tips box for awesome reader tips; this week we’re sharing a rather clever work around that allows you to stream your music collection from Google Docs. How-To Geek reader Andrew wrote in with the following tip detailing how you can turn Google Docs into a slimmed down and personalized version of Google Music. He writes: Guide to playing music on Google Docs The recent announcement of Google Music is great news, but it’s only available if you live in the US. To do this, you need a sync app like Syncdocs, and a media player like iTunes, Windows Media Player or VLC. 1. Syncdocs syncs these files to Google Docs, so you can just download the playlist files from another browser and open them to play your music. What’s great is that you don’t need the big audio files on the device you are using to play the music. Open the playlist in Windows Media Player, VLC, Winamp or iTunes on any other PC or Mac. Jason Fitzpatrick is warranty-voiding DIYer and all around geek.
