Upcoming CIT Workshops
The Center for Instructional Technology would like to announce next week’s workshops.
The following workshops still have seats available:
Podcasting (7 Week Course)
Mondays, 5:00pm-8:00pm, beginning September 14
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. By signing up for the Podcasting Course you are signing up for all 7 3-hour long workshops. Only participants who attend all 7 workshops and complete a project will earn the CIT Certificate. Part-time faculty who complete all 7 workshops and complete a project will also receive a stipend in the amount of $200.00. Full-time staff who also teach part-time in Columbia do not qualify for a stipend. 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.
