Project Audio: Teaching Students How to Produce Their Own Podcasts

Invisibilia: Episode 1: Dark Thoughts (Segment: 0:00 - 2:40) The Daily: Fired Over an Instagram Post (Segment: 0:00 - 3:45) StoryCorps: Gregory Bess and April Gibson (Segment: 0:00 - 2:36) For “The Daily” episode, students might notice that the interview questions are sometimes edited out — so the listener just hears the interviewee’s responses. Students might even guess what the missing questions were. Then regroup as a class. What interviewing techniques did you hear? Which ones do you think are the most essential to good interviewing?

It's a great time to experiment with this medium, since podcasts are drawing increasing attention from media companies.

Do Laws That Ban Offensive Words Make the World a Better Place? Lawmakers in South Africa want to make hate speech a crime. Backers of the draft law say racist language can violate human rights and is not compatible with the nation’s values. Opponents say that criminalizing hate speech will erode freedom of expression and do little to heal the country’s racial wounds. "Pecha What?"

12.11 Step nine: evaluate and innovate – Teaching in a Digital Age – Second Edition The last key ‘fundamental’ of quality teaching and learning in a digital age is evaluation and innovation: assessing what has been done, and then looking at ways to improve on it (for a more in-depth discussion of the issues involved in evaluating online learning, see Gunawardena et al., 2000) 12.11.1 Why evaluation is important For tenure and promotion, it is important if you are teaching to be able to provide evidence that the teaching has been successful. New tools and new approaches to teaching are constantly coming available.

Many institutions have opted to cancel all face-to-face classes, including labs and other learning experiences, and have mandated that faculty move their courses online to help prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.
