PodCasts
ADAM CURRY!!! Totally did not know he was an early adopter of podcasting. Other bloggers apparently were.
Odeo – things that caught my interest
medical minute from ABC news health gives 60 second podcasts on medical topics
del.icio.us mashups - Everything from del.icio.us/tag/ system:media:audio+mashup
Online hosted video – is it good enough?
I am one of those people that already have youtube videos floating around the web. I’ve also made online tutorials for library services using Camtasia software ( a Techsmith product) which are available on our website. Our off-campus access to online resources tutorial is very useful & I think people use it alot. The discussion for the midweek question this week was interesting. Some users prefer to simply look at a webpage or pdf file – they don’t have the patience to listen to a podcast or watch a video. However, I think that videos definitely work for user education , especially on navigating webpages or using online resources. The trick is to keep them short (under 2 minutes), both for downloading issues and attention spans.
