Podcasting - Berkeley Advanced Media Institute
Tutorial: Podcasting Introduction Podcasting is a simple and effective way to use audio to tell news stories. The portability of personal music players—like the iPod, iPhone and a host of other portable .mp3 players—extends the reach of your multimedia reporting beyond the home desktop or laptop computer. Podcasts use a publish and subscribe model that enables anyone who creates a podcast to build a loyal—and valuable—audience. Once a user subscribes to your podcast series, either through iTunes or your web site or blog, every new episode appears on the user’s computer or iPod without any additional interaction.

E-Learning Queen: Loving Canvas LMS!: New Training Courses - Collaboration & Quick-Start Guide
Many colleges, universities, and training organizations are moving away from the learning management system they have used for years and are adopting Canvas. Canvas, which is a learning management system, can also be considered a virtual learning environment (VLE) because offers cloud-based hosting and can integrate with a number of cloud applications, such as Google applications (Docs, Drive, Sheets, Slides), Microsoft 365 applications, and media hosting (YouTube, for example). In addition, Canvas encourages webinars (live and archived) by building in Big Blue Button. Also, Canvas offers free hosting to instructors who can create their own courses (which are, in effect, MOOCs if they catch on) and offer them through Canvas’s portal. Canvas is not as flexible as Moodle, and it does not have as many built-in templates as Moodle’s Virtual Learning Environment competitor, MoodleCloud, but it does offer remarkable simplicity.
