Welcome to our second episode of RSC-MP3 for this academic year. RSC-MP3 is a monthly audio podcast highlighting some Higher Education focused e-learning news, interviews and resources brought to you by Kevin Brace (JISC RSC West Midlands) and Martin Hawksey (JISC RSC Scotland North and East). As ever we have summarised links to the various topics we discuss and indicate the timestamps so you can jump straight to our insightful repertoire. You can listen to this podcast on your computer, or when “on the move” by adding it to your ipod playlist. Here is an archive of our recordings, which is also available on iTunes. This month we are trialling the audio hosting and commenting service soundcloud.com. To add a comment click on the timeline below (which should take you to the recording on soundcloud). To add a comment you’ll need to register with the service, but signup is free. We look forward to receiving your feedback.
This month we revert back to our usual supplementary interview. Kevin had a chance to speak to Mr Stuart Chadwick who is a solutions architect for the award winning e-learning company Kineo. Stuart discusses their rapid e-learning ethos and tools, plus Kineo services to customise Open Source applicatons such as Moodle. Click here for the full interview.
