Overview

Podcast LX allows instructors to create and broadcast podcast episodes from their courses. When Podcast LX is enabled in the learning management system, all courses have a Podcast feed. This feed can be enabled by the instructor to allow broadcasting of episodes through an RSS feed, or the feed can be disabled if the instructor wishes to limit access to media files to logged-in users only.

What can Podcast LX be used for?

Adding audio and video content to courses gives instructors the opportunity to engage students in new and different ways.

 

• Supplement course materials
  With Podcast LX, instructors can provide students with audio and video content to supplement course materials. For example, instructors can add recordings of guest lectures or lectures given at other institutions to their course. Recordings or performances or historical events can also be added. In foreign language courses, audio recordings can be provided to help students learn proper pronunciation.

 

• Record class lectures

  Podcast LX allows instructors to provide their students with recordings of their class lectures. This allows students to learn at their own pace, review lectures after class, or listen to lectures before class. Instructors can provide lectures to students to review before class, so face-to-face class time can be used more interactively for discussion and debate.
