Podcasting for pedagogic purposes

Not fair. Someone is trying to steal my title of 'most rubbish name for podcasting web resource'. No matter, they have failed. Podcasting for Pedagogic Purposes (it's bad, but not that bad) is a wiki based, I think, at the University of Chester. It contains various links and materials related to podcasting - including a contribution from our very own Nigel Holt. Thanks to Ian for sending me the link.

Linked from the PPP wiki is Reflections on Educational Podcasting (way down the crap name register, that one): a blog associated with a podcasting project at Sheffield Hallam. There is also notice of a podcasting conference in Oxford on April 3rd.

I did, in fairness, attempt to change the title of this blog, but just couldn't come up with any decent puns (I gave up when the name 'Pod Stewart' raced maniacally through my head). Any suggestions would be welcome...

James - thought you'd be interested in these links, which shares their titles (but not its content) with a PALATINE HE Subject Centre conference I attended in Wolverhampton in 2006.

'Pod-U-Like'?
(Sorry to lower the tone of serious comment and suggestion... Thanks for the links both of you!)

Cheers, Joe - I've added those links to this site.

Richard, Pod-U-Like did cross my mind too, but went the same way as Pod Off, PC Pod, Ken Podd's PodBlog, Poddy Holder, Spare the Pod, Ten Green Poddles, and the Oedipod Complex

Do I infer that this is the current blog for the VLE group? If so, here's a link to Mark Presky, whose work I've been reading recently.

Might be worth passing on to the group for interest.

Following on from Joe here are a couple of links I use. The first is the Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies which has a very useful directory of software where I first found Screenflow - http://www.c4lpt.co.uk/index.html
The second is Russell Standard who uses Camtasia in all his teaching, including now giving'live' feedback/marking. There are a number of examples of screencasting linked from his site - http://www.russellstannard.com/
