I agree with the comment above that lecturers could use a software program to capture their power point presentations. Two other software programs which can do this are: Camtasia Studio (By Techsmith.com) and Screencam Generator (generator software). These are 'screen capture software', and the newest version of Camtasia actually has the functionality to take the video and have it ready for video podcasting. Imagine a university student being able to download the power point of a lecture via podcast! Very cool stuff. I agree that the use of technology in this way could help people with ADD/ADHD or learning disabilities. Thanks again for a great post. Great post!

Ones where a single person’s voice droned on for over 20 minutes. Unless you have an exciting voice that was made for radio, people are going to get bored of listening to one person for that long. Some library podcasts played entire songs on their show. When people are listening to a podcast to learn about library services or news, they will not want to suffer through an entire song. Music can be used to provide separation between features in a podcast and its great to use as background music while the podcaster is talking. Actually, I find that I can pay more attention to podcasts when there is background music to keep me interested. I still stand by what I wrote last year that patrons are not going to want to listen to a podcast that is just about library news, and I think libraries need to put a whole bunch of interesting non-library stuff into their podcasts if they want people to listen to the news (like what Dowling College did). Library news is usually the sort of stuff people skim of the Web site, looking for the stuff that interests them. Unfortunately, you can’t really skim a podcast.

Alguns gringos já distribuem podcasts em seus blogs, Greg Scharwz, BiblioAcid. Se uma organização baseia-se na distribuição de informação atualizada, o podcast é um ótimo método de distribuição de conteúdo de mídia. Então é bom que os bibliotecários estejam atentos. Alguns pontos de vista sobre podcast em bibliotecas e educação (em inglês). No Brasil, a turma da tecnologia já produz alguns sites e audioblogs, INFO, Sena, euPodo e outros.

Yes, I know - for those blogging purists out there, my last entry was more of an online journal than a blog. Oh well, get over it. This one is likely to be more of the same.There have been more than a few thoughts bouncing around in my head of late, deman

Most profs in larger rooms wire themselves up to a mic anyway, it wouldn't involve more than pressing a couple of buttons, and poof -- the whole lecture sync'd to slides would be available for replay whenever you wanted to see it. It would prevent frantic note-taking for sure. (then again, it also might keep people away from class.) Too progressive, i guess :-) Along the lines of podcasting, if professors who use powerpoint or other computer-based aids when teaching agreed, they could use Captivate (or its equivalent) as they are lecturing.
