I sometimes assign the podcasts as supplements to readings in class, depending on the subject matter. Students have told me they really enjoy listening to people seriously discuss the issues they're reading about in class. You can access Engage <A HREF="http://oregonstate.edu/cla/philosophy/engage/" REL="nofollow">here</A> or by my <A HREF="http://engagepodcast.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">blog</A>, which tries to extend the conversations started in the podcasts.Joseph Oroscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950358209722798820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070355695530434450.post-53459978503432879472007-11-17T10:48:00.000-08:002007-11-17T10:48:00.000-08:00I've thought about using podcasts in my logic clas...I've thought about using podcasts in my logic class to give explanations of homework problems that we don't go over in class. This would allow me to give students feedback on their work without having to write out a lot of comments. I haven't done it yet, but only because I haven't had time this semester to make the podcasts.<BR/><BR/>This could work for providing detailed feedback on exams, too.<BR/><BR/>There are a number of logic podcasts available, although I haven't listened to them. Princeton Review does an LSAT Logic in Everyday Life podcast, and someone named Rick Grush has a series on "Basic Sentential Logic and Everyday Life."david morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628941227584383772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070355695530434450.post-57750922403943686722007-11-16T19:50:00.000-08:002007-11-16T19:50:00.000-08:00My Organic Chemistry professor makes all lectures ...My Organic Chemistry professor makes all lectures available as podcasts; it's come in handy now and then. I guess it depends on whether you're worried that making material available outside of lecture will create a slippery slope of laziness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070355695530434450.post-89871903282461767372007-11-16T13:47:00.000-08:002007-11-16T13:47:00.000-08:00I haven't used podcasts in any central way to teac...I haven't used podcasts in any central way to teaching, yet (I'm just starting out). But this past summer, I did recommend to my students podcasts from WNYC's RadioLab, which is an EXCELLENT show. The students really liked the show and would bring up, during discussion, science cases that were discussed in that show. I've also referred students to podcasts from Philosophy Talk when they expressed interest in an issue that wasn't central to the class. I think they're a great tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
