Podcasting and Social Media as Continuing Higher Education: A Conversation with Jeff Shelton

Technology has opened many doors to new kinds of educational media. Podcasts and live internet radio, such as Big Beacon Radio, are among these relatively new kinds of media, and in this episode, host Dave Goldberg interviews Jeff Shelton, producer and co-host of The Engineering Commons, a regular podcast on topics of interest to engineers and technologists, to explore some of the behind-the-scenes learning & experience of putting on a regular podcast. In addition, Jeff and Dave compare podcasting and live internet radio to other forms of social media such as twitter, twitter chats, blogging and the like. Join Jeff and Dave for a lively discussion of the technical and programmatic ins and outs of podcasts and a variety of social media now used in and around higher education.
