Our second unit is on 27th May on Podcasts to Improve Learning<br>
<br>
How do podcasts help sustain your PLN and improve learning throughout life? <br>
In this session we will be exploring podcasts (both listening to them
and making them) as an example of Web 2.0. Listening to podcasts can be
a way of sustaining your PLN. This session will also incorporate a
discussion of the issues arising out of the readings, including
articles on Building your PLN and Improving Student Learning through
Podcasting. There will also be hands-on exploration of some of the
tools introduced in the discussion. This VITTA created module is part
of the Certificate in Emerging Technologies.<br>
