That's the exact opposite of what podcasts are doing. I want student to be involved, podcasts are for teachers who don't want education to be a two-way street.<br /><br />Podcasts are just talking textbooks. Surely we can do better than that?Larry Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756598746605455848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-57386601902460266252006-11-29T11:04:00.000-05:002006-11-29T11:04:00.000-05:00That is why more and more professors are podcastin...That is why more and more professors are podcasting their lectures. You get to do the recording, then you go back to your office and do the editing (so you can fix the gaffes and mistakes, kick out irrelevant stuff, perhaps add an important point you forgot to tell in class etc.), then post it online on the class website. That way, students are not tempted to record themselves and they still get the (clean) audio version of your lecture.Bora Zivkovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763808287050592569noreply@blogger.com
