Podcasting Online Faculty Development Programs

Jason Rhode's EdTech Presentations (enhanced)

This archive of the Wimba Distinguished Lecture on 4/30/2010 shares Northern Illinois University’s journey offering live online faculty development workshops using Wimba Classroom as well as making online workshop archives available for on-demand viewing either online, in iTunes, or on a mobile device. Emphasis is placed on NIU’s step-by-step workflow for using the MP4 archive download capabilities in Wimba Classroom 6.0 to deliver archived online faculty development programs in podcast form. The presentation includes considerations for hosting archives outside Wimba Classroom as well as the steps necessary to create a podcast RSS feed, submit to the iTunes store, and update the necessary files when a new MP4 archive from Wimba Classroom is available. Slides are available for download at jasonrho.de/wimba2010

During the second half of the presentation, Rasmussen College shares their use of breakout rooms for faculty development and collaboration.
