HigherEdBlogCon 2006, a weeklong online conference, got under way today with two virtual presentations about podcasting in the classroom:
- Giving the Students What They Want, a 15-minute screencast about the pros and cons of screencasting and podcasting.
- Legal Issues in Podcasting, a two-part PowerPoint presentation.
This virtual conference is geared mainly toward the academics interesting in Web 2.0 apps in the classroom. But a couple of sessions look promising for higher ed PR/marketing folks. The Tuesday, April 4, case study on how integrating blogs and Blackboard can improve a PR course (not yet posted), might be worth tuning in for.
