The vision for the Steeple project is to investigate, develop and document sustainable institutional infrastructure to support university wide educational podcasting. Steeple also hopes to instigate a viable community around scalable, enterprise-level solutions suitable for the UK-HE sector in the areas of automated video/audio capture, video/audio processing, and video/audio delivery ("podcasting").
"Back in March I served on a panel along with Liz Gross, Ed Cabellon, and Greg Heiberger at the #sxswEDU conference. Here are some of the highlights:
Greg and I talk about our latest research on using Twitter to support students throughout their first year of college.
I summarize my recent research on using Facebook in education.
Greg explores the future of higher education and how new technologies can be used to effectively improve student success.
Liz discusses how to use Facebook to market your institution and programs.
Ed explains how to frame productive social media use to administrators.
I get snarky about EdTech startups and how they don't communicate with educators."
"In this podcast, authors Rena Palloff and Keith Pratt share strategies for faculty training, development, and support, which is the subject of their forthcoming book, The Excellent Online Instructor."
"New psychological research suggests that university students who download a podcast lecture achieve substantially higher exam results than those who attend the lecture in person." Would have been nice to cite this morning ;-)
