Podcasting/Videocasting Initiative
About
In conjunction with Dr. Alisa Cooper, English faculty member from South Mountain Community College, MCLI supports various faculty development offerings in podcasting and videocasting (or vodcasting) for teaching and learning.
A podcast is a series of audio or video digital-media files which is distributed over the Internet by syndicated download, through Web feeds, to portable media players and personal computers. Though the same content may also be made available by direct download or streaming, a podcast is distinguished from other digital-media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added. Like the term broadcast, podcast can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. A Video podcast (sometimes shortened to vidcast or vodcast) is a term used for the online delivery of video on demand video clip content via Atom or RSS enclosures (source: wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_podcast and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting).
