Podcasting at UNL
•The term "podcasting" describes technologies for automatic distribution of audio and video programs over the Internet, mainly via a publish and subscribe system. Any digital audio player or computer with audio-playing software can play podcasts.
Podcasting is a portmanteau that combines the words "broadcasting" and "iPod."
• The first podcast from UNL was produced in September as University Communications posted Chancellor Harvey Perlman's State of the University address online. University Communications had since made Ruma Banerjee's Nebraska Lecture and Michael Walzer's E.N. Thompson Forum presentation available through podcasts. All three lectures are available at no cost through iTunes, a digital audio and video program and online database.
•UNL also offers a student recruitment video online as a podcast with the release of "Real Nebraska" video, episode seven.
The Real Nebraska website features a new theme this fall with a series of videos produced in a "man-on-the-street" interview format in which host Dave Burge gathers student feedback about life at Nebraska. Seven videos in the series have been posted on the website http://realnebraska.unl.edu.
• Podcasting is also being integrated into classrooms in a variety of forms across UNL.
Educators in the UNL School of Music are reportedly working on ways to use both the video and audio podcast options.
Duncan Case, associate professor in Architecture, has developed a module for students in Introductory Design 106. Case said the module takes students on a walking tour of UNL, searching for "structural form" types in campus buildings. Sydney Brown, an instructional design technology specialist at UNL, assisted Case with the module design.
