Look at some Duke Stuff

We talk about the things going on at Duke with podcasting, and recently I had an opportunity to listen to a podcast from the Podcast Academy 2, in Boston, at which two professor from Duke described what they are doing with podcasts. Also at the session was a professor from the Harvard Extension School, and then a kinda contarian's view of the whole thing from Adam Weis from the Museum of Science. He doesn't have many good things to say about the approach Duke and Harvard are taking podcasting lectures, and advocates interviews and shorter, stand-alone segments of information.

The first twenty minutes focus on Duke; and Adam Weis's segment is in the latter third.
Here is the link to the video file of the session: Podcasting in Education

I'd also recommend going to the Duke podcast site referenced in the presentation. It's interesting to contrast this with the site that Frank and Company have developed for the university system. That link is Dukecast.

Maybe we can talk about these at our next get-together.
