Description:

Podcasting is a passive method of distribution of multimedia content through subscription to a syndicated web feed. A Podcast can consist of audio only, audio enhanced images or video and can be played back on a computer, iPod or mp3 player.

Some common misconceptions about Podcasting are the requirement of an iPod for playback or a Mac for podcast production. With Camtasia Studio 4, you can use your PC to enhance your video, still images, and audio with transitions, callouts and other effects to create dynamic audio and video podcasts. Plus, Camtasia Studio 4 still has the screen activity capture functionality and interactive Flash movie production that makes it so popular for creating electronic tutorials.

The goal of this workshop is to familiarize the participant with best practices of podcasting and podcast production utilizing Camtasia Studio. Participants will have an opportunity to create audio only podcasts, a vodcast (video podcast) and a vodcast from a PowerPoint presentation. There will also be an introduction to the iTunesU program which is currently being piloted at SUNY Cortland.
