[ED-TECH] Podcasting in the classroom - materials

On November 30th UM participated in a webinar entitled "Podcasting in the Classroom."  The session dealt with the system used at Purdue University to (audio) record, convert, and publish classroom sessions.  The materials from that session are now available from the www.miami.edu/iac "Lunch and Learn Series" page for Fall 2005, or from the links below.
