Audio Podcasts

The Podcast Pilot group had training on GarageBand last week and I recorded my first audio tutorial today.

I finally figured out what was wrong with the new Plantronics headset. I turned up every volume switch I could find. I searched for missing drivers. I Googled FAQs trying to find others who couldn't get their headsets to record loud enough. And then, out of desperation, I bent the microphone in. It worked. The microphone wasn't close enough to my mouth. :| I don't think I need to say anything else about that.

The good news is--they sound great!!! Really nice audio with noise canceling.

More good news--the ACRL Best Practices section of the Alabama Library Association has accepted my proposal for a presentation on the Podcasting Pilot experience for their annual conference in April!

I finished revising the last ANNA tutorial module in the video podcasts and plan to have a select group of classes use them in the Spring. Dr. Yuen has provided a survey that we will use for assessment in each class.

I still have to come up with assessment of the tutorials for the library!
