I'll be very interested to see how your trial goes, Ben. I guess the same thing can be said of making lecture notes available on the web - the temptation is to just read them and get the "gist" of them - often, as the Guardian article notes - just before exams loom :)Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757616056135886893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633495.post-1158884179883367382006-09-22T01:16:00.000+01:002006-09-22T01:16:00.000+01:00Rather a late response ...I don't know the particu...Rather a late response ...<BR/><BR/>I don't know the particular lecturer involved but I am going to be trialling podcasting (along with several others in my department) this semester. This will be as a complement to the 'real' lecture, not replacing them.<BR/><BR/>The main worry that I have is that if they know they can get podcasts the students won't turn up.<BR/><BR/>- benAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633495.post-1148776025510648682006-05-28T01:27:00.000+01:002006-05-28T01:27:00.000+01:00Yep.

I can't see it working for my lectures.<BR/><BR/>I did think it worth experimenting with a screencast ( http://nooranch.com/pa/handouts/test1.swf ) once, but when I heard how appalling the Portuguese was - basically English with some triphonic sugar - I never gave it to the students.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, the idea of using podcasting technology for teaching is great. And I don't even think there's a problem replacing lectures (given that he aims to be using the extra time for tutorials).<BR/><BR/>But you can't just record a lecture. You have to use blogging and casting together to create new sizes and shapes of educational chunk.<BR/><BR/>The only podcasts I listen to now are interviews / conversations. The medium seems to work there. I wonder whether you could do more education like that. Sort of Socratic Dialogues.Composinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739889615635395138noreply@blogger.com
