Project Summary
The project involved podcasting the complete lecture series of three of the units of study coordinated by Dr Moss in 2006. For the three series, “enhanced” podcasts were used. This means that the PowerPoint images used in the lectures, together with audio, were transmitted in each podcast.
Dr Moss believes this successful podcasting may be unique for three reasons:
- it involved entire and enhanced lecture programs
- three units were podcast
- QUT is one of a handful of universities experimenting with the podcasting of lecture programs.
Dr Moss used a series of power-point slides to introduce his presentation. He then showed the pod-casting of lectures in three of his units .
