Use a Podcast to Enhance Your Course

A podcast is a digital media file that is distributed over the internet. These can be played via an internet browser, an iPod or a Smart Phone.

Podcasts are valuable resources for students in online and face-to-face courses. Professors can record their lectures and place them on their website. Students can then download the lecture and listen to it any time, day or night.

Are you interested in putting your lecture online? Faculty and Staff at HCC have access to a program called Camtasia. Camtasia allows you to record and edit your lectures and then publish them in a digital format. Tutorials on how to use Camtasia can be found here:http://citt.hccfl.edu/Tutorials.cfm?TopNum=1&SubTopic=Camtasia&AllResource=Camtasia. You can also contact the CITT for additional assistance in using Camtasia.
