LTTO Session #2 Summary

Our featured faculty member was Mike Putman. Mike began his presentation with an introductory podcast. He then reviewed video lectures including how to make them and what the research says about including them in courses. Next, he reviewed podcasts, their history, and the technology needed to produce them. He also offered guidelines for producing podcasts. Finally, Mike discussed the educational value of new technologies.

Following Mike's presentation, Susan gave a short overview of wikis and blogs and how they could be used in online courses. Please download the handout, "New Technologies Resources" in the Handouts frame for some helpful web links.
