Overview
(Or, “Your chance to slip out of the room if you hate this thesis.”)

Overview – What’s the Story?
• For years, faculty have recorded things for students to review
• Sometimes, student interaction is part of that recording
• But once the recording is made, the interaction stops – or, at least, becomes extremely difficult
• Now, we can move the interaction into the recording itself!

The Old Way: 1-way examples
From ultra-traditional to fairly modern…

Remember Tape Recorders?

But then what?
![Page 11: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Introducing the concept of “asynchronous collaboration”Or, “Let’s add the responses into the original content!”
![Page 12: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What’s“asynchronous collaboration”?
• Classroom discussion is a form of synchronous collaboration
• LMSes or other online forums provide a type of asynchronous discussion, but true collaboration (interrelating ideas) is difficult
• Moving the discussion right into the media presentation creates asynchronous collaboration, where exposure to the idea and the responses occurs simultaneously.

Possible Solution:• Combining streaming video with a live wiki
that advances at key points in a timeline• (Microsoft Producer + MediaWiki Wiki)

Possible Solution:• Combining streaming video with a live blog
that advances at key points in a timeline• (Microsoft Producer + Blogger.com Blog)

• Click.TV has created a Flash-based model and will release an ad-supported service in June

Can we do this for audio, too?
Turning podcasts and “coursecasts” interactive.
![Page 17: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is “podcasting”?
• “Podcasting” is the act of producing a podcast– Listening to a podcast isn’t “podcasting”
• Remember, listening to a radio or television broadcast isn’t “broadcasting”
• “Podcasters” are those who make podcasts, not those who listen to podcasts
![Page 18: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is “a podcast”?
• “A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to subscribe to.”
• “The subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time streaming.”
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting)
![Page 19: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is “a podcast”?
• “Internet talk-radio”• Regularly created
– Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly• MP3 + RSS 2.0 feed with enclosure tag
– A link to an MP3 audio file that’s sitting on a web site is not a podcast
– A RealPlayer audio file is not a podcast• What’s an RSS feed?
– RSS is an HTML-like format, for computers
![Page 20: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is “coursecasting”?
• “Putting audio of a lecture online”• Might be done as a podcast, or maybe not.• So, many professed “podcast” desires
might be fulfilled with a simple audio file uploaded to a web server– Students could manually download and save
MP3s onto a portable MP3 player
![Page 21: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How to get started ‘Casting
Publishing• OurMedia + Blogger + FeedBurner
– OurMedia: Host the Creative Commons MP3– Blogger: Provide the (Atom) feed– FeedBurner: Clean up the RSS feed
• …and faculty or students or staff might be doing this already!
![Page 22: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
From one-way to two-way• So far, we’ve been talking about faculty
publishing their materials out to students• Is there more?
YES!
![Page 23: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Audio Collaboration!
• Phone in to podcasts?– Like “community voicemail” but more
convenient– An advantage to students who don’t want to
raise their hands in class, but don’t feel confident expressing themselves in writing (e.g. in a discussion board)
• (AudioBlogger + Blogger + E-Mail)
![Page 24: From 1-way to 2-way: Promoting student engagement through asynchronous collaboration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681505f550346895dbe6091/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Audio Collaboration!
• MIT has announced “RadioActive”:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1964680,00.asp
• “The RadioActive project defines a large-scale asynchronous audio messaging system, or mobile audio forum. In this system, voice messages are exchanged between groups of users via mobile devices, like cell phones or PDAs, as a method of ‘discussion-on-demand.’ The messages are then collected in threads similar to how a common Internet discussion forum… and can range the spectrum from quick blurbs to full-length podcasts.”

Questions? Discussion?
