Podcasts and Wiki

This 41-minute podcast recorded during the EDUCAUSE 2007 Annual Conference features Geoffrey Corb, Senior Director, Student Information Systems, The Johns Hopkins University and Stephen Hellen, Project Manager, The Johns Hopkins University speaking on Wiki and Project Management.

The session abstract:

This session will introduce wiki concepts and explore their use in project management and in supporting IT systems in higher education. JHU's implementation of a new student information system extensively uses an enterprise wiki, which will be highlighted, along with use cases, examples, and lessons learned.

Ever wonder what you can really do with wikis that bring educational value? Listen to how educators are using wikis to enhance learning in EDUCAUSE Pocket Edition #6.

And, if you have listened to other EDUCAUSE Pocket Editions, you'll notice that we've modified the approach in this version. Originally designed to appeal to a young audience, the current version retains a lighthearted approach but is intended to appeal to a more mature audience. Let us know which approach you prefer.

If you are interested in an engaging explanation of wikipedia, listen to EDUCAUSE Pocket Edition #5. Learn how anyone who is interested can contribute to this living, online encyclopedia that is a product of group editing. (Did you know that the Oxford English dictionary was originally a group editing project?)

Hands-free, portable, informative, and engaging—that’s the EDUCAUSE Pocket Edition. If you’re too busy to read about new technologies, listen to Pocket Edition instead. Just download the Pocket Edition audio file to your computer or MP3 player and listen to it at your leisure. Or use podcasting to automatically download new Pocket Editions on hot topics such as podcasting or wikis as they’re posted. Whether you’re on your way to work, at the gym, or in your office, you’ll find EDUCAUSE Pocket Edition fits your busy lifestyle.
