Podcasting is being used creatively in higher education classrooms across the globe. But does podcasting affect student learning? This session reports on a meta-synthesis study that evaluated the research literature on podcast use in university courses. It provides an overview of how podcasts can be used, summarizes what the research shows, discusses the implications for teaching, and provides a framework for learning with podcasting. Participants will share ways they use podcasts in their classes and/or brainstorm ways to effectively use podcasting.

This session is part of the Let's Talk Teaching Webinar series which will focus on a variety of teaching topics. The sessions will be facilitated by faculty with an emphasis on sharing examples, discussing ideas, and exploring questions.

The series will be offered online via Adobe Connect each month from noon to 1 pm. The sessions will be recorded and also available online after the session. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions for viewing and a link a day or two before the event.

Let's Create!  A Recipe for Creating Engaging Online Presentations with Adobe Presenter.

Take one PowerPoint presentation, a tablespoon of voice-over narration, a half a cup of animations, sprinkle in some tests or surveys, add the Web and Viola……you have Adobe Presenter. See how a static PowerPoint presentation can be turned into an interactive Flash video to be delivered dynamically over the web. End users will now be able to hear the topic being discussed, replay the video, select individual slides, search for specific text in the presentation or take self assessment quizzes that are all apart of the Adobe Presenter plug-in for PowerPoint. By the end of this 2 hour hands-on workshop you will be able to create and publish your own online presentations using Adobe Presenter.
