Podcasts in the classroom

My good friend Al Stavitsky at the University of Oregon is profiled in that school's newspaper, the Emerald for his podcasting experiment. Al attended the convergence conference at BYU last fall and since then has been offering the "Al Pod" to his Mass Media and Society class. He posts the podcasts to his Blackboard site. Al is a former broadcaster, so he says it was easy to put together a 20 minute "stream-of-consciousness" podcast that bridges the readings to the lectures.
