The CIT (Center for Instructional Technology) Innovation Award celebrates the “excellent use of technology in education” at USF. One of the 2007 awards honored the use of wikis, open source, and podcasting at the business school. The India tour wiki and the MBA podcast series were singled out for special praise.

Thanks to all the hard-working USF students who made this possible. I wish I could share the award check with each and every one of you!

Podcasting at the Internet Apps class

April 21st, 2007 Internet Apps class, Podcast 1 comment

The creator of the USF MBA Podcast Series, Tiago Alves, visited the Internet Business Apps class last Thursday to show our students how it’s done.

Tiago’s MBA Podcast Series began as a class project in last fall’s MBA Internet Business Apps class. His podcast series has subscribers around the world, and is a great tool for keeping up with the interesting guest speakers and visitors that come to USF. Search for “MBA podcast” on Google, and you’ll find the USF MBA Podcast Series on the top page.Â As of this post, he is up to episode #25.

Tiago uses the open-source Audacity program for sound editing, the PodPress plugin for WordPress to publish his podcasts without having to stress over news feeds, and FeedBurner for analytics. Very impressive, effective, and surprisingly easy.
