New year, new resolutions...post more audio to Podomatic and blog it!This project has formally finished but the ripples continue. Our team is still involved in a TAFE Online Technologies project. We'll be able to trial a Sharepoint Portal for a server to store media resources, there's still some tweaking to be done to get this feature working with student accounts and undertake some testing.

It was great to have some time to work on our audiodynamism projects today. Anna and I are developing some resources which include audio for ABE students who are waiting to enrol or who have run out of work. We are updating them and adding to them all the time. Check out this work in progress!

Audiodynamism was asked to present the project in a 20 minute slot at Kingswood campus - I feared the worst - a numb bum and face from smiling insincerely for the rest of the three hours. Wrong! All the presenters had interesting things to say/show/do and the range of engagement with learning technologies was impressive. Hopefully there'll be some cross-pollination of projects. With the end of

Learnscope is almost over for this year and in some ways we're just getting started ... I guess that's because we're so much more aware of what a huge field audio is... and of the interesting possibilities for teaching and learning.If I were to do it all again I think I'd limit the number of audio tools explored to avoid getting overwhelmed. I also think I'd program in more time in the computer

As the title says, the Learnscope showcase at Randwick racecourse has just finished. Audiodynamism's presentation was on at ten in the morning. Like all others presenters, we only had a ten minute slot to give a snapshot of our elearning project. I knew I had waffled on a bit about pedagogy when Bob asked me "later, "so I didn't get from your presentation what you are actually doing"! (Luckily

Check out the new episode of our podcast - Michael Nelson & Colin Tyrell talk about blogging in the Blue Mountains (WSI TAFE NSW.) It's about 15 minutes long & 2.4MBI can vouch for the fact that these guys know what they're talking about because I spent precious little time having to edit it for the podcast! With editing other presentations, I've had to cut out a lot of context specific stuff and

First off - the good news - an update of where the project is up to, listen to this learnscope interview with Alex Hayes:http://nswlearnscope.podomatic.com/entry/2006-10-05T22_25_40-07_00Disappointing news: "as of November 1, 2006, Audioblogger will no longer accept phone calls." Damn! Paula Williams and myself attended a fantastic workshop with Micheal Coughlin (see previous posting) where we

Another full-on dive into audio technology...We looked at RSS feeds...and experimented with Anna & Dilys' website for Everyday Technology. Anna & Dilys have several blogs and a wiki, connected to the above website. Dilys showed Alison Springdoo - she uses it to record herself reading chapters to send to her mother in New Zealand. She also used Springdoo to sing and send a happy birthday to hertwo

feeds, aggregators & aggravation

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 4 Sep 2006 22:56:00 +1000

interesting discussion at our workshops - always - great brains under great strain! Alison commented that the interfaces & processes behind audio software are not yet user-friendly - true enough. But when you think about it, nothing about computers is really intuitive. What's intuitive about ones and zeroes? We just get used to technology with practise and then it becomes invisible/second nature.

On 29th Aug, Anna and I went to a WSI Learnscope workshop run by Robin Jay and Alex Hayes. The focus was on digital storytelling and web 2.0 tools with quite a bit of talk and sharing of skills happening as well. We are getting to know a lot of the Learnscope faces now. Lots of people are doing amazing things out there. Anna and I worked on the beginnings of a photostory using graffiti images

Using mp3 players

Listen to our discussion about issues involved with using mp3 players (or subscribe to our Podomatic podcast).These are the kind of pedagogical considerations that I imagine you will come across if you’re interested in producing/using podcasts in education. Technical considerations: for easy download I posted the 5.13 MB mp3 file instead of the 113 MB wav file!BTW....Thx Andrew, audio-legend for

Anna and I also went to the Learnscope Conference, feeling very fancy with our wireless laptops.Anna went to Jo Kay's session called Second Life: Education in a Massively Multi-Player Virtual World. When we have some time, we hope to explore some comic making stuff to use with our youth students. I went to Getting Practical with Web 2.0 Tools run by Michael Nelson. He was terrific.

Audioblog test

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 3 Aug 2006 12:34:00 +1000

Audioblogs are amazing! Students can post/talk their comments to a shared blog via the telephone. It cost about $1 to phone the US number. It took me a few gos (and a bit of initial swearing, I confess), to get the right number in. There are fantastic technical specifications/guidelines in the Different Voices Different Spaces project, a thorough & comprehensive study of audio in e-learning
