Podcasting from Newark Classrooms

The Office of Academic Technology has installed equipment in Ackerson 123 and CLJ 392 to record lectures which can then be made available to your students as a podcast. We are presently researching portable recorders and expect to have at least one available for the next semester. If you are interested in trying out podcasting or if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact Joy McDonald by email at joymcdno more spam!@newark.rutgers.edu or by phone at 973-353-5953.

Sakai Podcasting Tool

Sakai <https://sakai.rutgers.edu> has a podcasting tool that can be added to any course or project site. The tool allows you to upload audio or video files, it will generate the "podcast feed" (RSS link) that students or others can use in iTunes or other software to automatically download the files. To add the podcasting tool to your Sakai site, click "Site Info" then "Edit Tools" (you must add both the Podcasting and Resources tools).
