Wayne Brent, the LTC's Breeze Guy, sent this alert out. Sounds very interesting. If you can hook up in time for it on Thursday check afterwards to see if it has been archived. Lots of times these Breeze webinars are archived.
Title: Narrowcasting 101: Using Blogs, Podcasts, and Videoblogs in Higher Education
Presenter: Cyprien Lomas, UBC and Nick Noakes, HKUST
The practices involved in "narrowcasting," including Web logs (blogs), podcasts, and videoblogs, have become significant elements of the new Web. These practices are emerging on our campuses, employing RSS feeds and aggregators to distribute increasingly rich "amateur" content.
Join Cyprien Lomas and Nick Noakes to explore the vibrant and rapidly evolving world of narrowcasting and the impact it can have on teaching and learning. They will explore several facets of narrowcasting and the new Web, including:
- What is narrowcasting? Where did it come from and where is it going?
- How might narrowcasting fit into a campus e-portfolio or content management system?
- What are the implications of having increasingly media-rich (and resource-intensive) content on campus?
- How can we filter and focus all of this new content?
When: Thu Sep 8, 9:00 AM (Arizona Time)
