The Center for Instructional Technology would like to announce next week’s workshops.
The following workshops still have seats available:
Intro to Podcasting and iTunes University
Monday, November 2, 5:00pm-8:00pm
The iPod revolution is rapidly moving from delivering just music to being used in education as a portable learning tool. It allows access to lectures, speeches, audio books, etc. There are growing opportunities for teachers to create, distribute, and access audio and video learning materials. Columbia College has joined Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley and many other schools and started using Apple's iTunes University for easy podcast publishing. In this workshop you will learn the basics of podcasting and how to create and publish your own audio or video podcast with iTunes U.
Podcasting (7 Week Course)
Wednesdays, 5:00pm-8:00pm, beginning November 4
The iPod revolution is rapidly moving from delivering just music to being used in education as a portable learning tool. It allows access to lectures, speeches, audio books, etc. There are growing opportunities for teachers to create, distribute, and access audio and video learning materials. This project-based course will introduce you to the shooting and recording techniques as well as editing of audio, enhanced, and video podcasts. You should come to the course with an intention to produce a podcast for your class and you will leave with at least one finished episode.

In addition, the participants who complete a project and attend all 7 workshops will gain access to CIT's podcasting equipment and facilities to work on their future podcasting projects.
Intro to Automator

If you’re a Mac user and find yourself doing time-consuming, repetitive tasks on your computer, meet Automator. You don’t need complex programming skills to understand it; just drag and drop different actions into a workflow, and Automator will turn all those individual steps into one automated action. You can use it in many different programs, including Finder, Safari, iCal, Address Book, and third-party applications like Microsoft Office or Photoshop. Take three hours to learn Automator and save yourself a lot of time every day!
