Catalyst Spark Session
Podcasting Panel Discussion
Cara Lane, UW Catalyst, discussed her evaluation of how UW students and instructors are using podcasting. Matthew Saxton, the Information School, discussed how podcasting supplements face-to-face classes, providing a different "take" on material to students. Richard Strickland, UW Oceanography, shared his experiences podcasting lectures to students enrolled in an internet section, who then only come to class for exams. Thomas Deardorff, UW Libraries, provided background information on copyright issues relevant to instructional podcasting.
