Examples
- Camtasia
Kronos is a new software program being used at UW-La Crosse
to keep track of hours for student workers. This podcast was developed to train
the students and their supervisors on how to use the program.
Digital Measures is the company contracted by UW-L to
provide a database for faculty and instructional academic staff activities. The
reporting functions are used for annual reports, retention, promotion, and IAS
renewal. In addition, departments may choose to use it for merit and/or post
tenure review processes. This podcast was developed to train the users of this
database.
SPSS is a software program used in our Introductory
Statistics course. In this podcast, one of the professor's for the course
explains to his students how to use SPSS for a particular application.
This is one of the digital learning objects created to
help education students prepare for the PRAXIS exams. They include
multiple features which allow students to explore subject specific Questions from a variety of learning perspectives. One
feature, the ChalkTalk, is a podcast of the problem
solution.
Spanish Chalk-Talks A few Chalk-Talks have been converted to Spanish (the voice portion).
- Chemistry
Examples (Jamie Schneider)
In some courses, certain prerequisite material gives
students particular trouble. In these podcasts, a chemistry professor reviews
some prerequisite material originating with a powerpoint presentation. The
difference between these two podcasts is in the settings used to record them.
The first example uses a high sound quality recording and thus results in a
larger file. The second example is the same podcast recorded with lower quality
settings in order to make the file smaller.
Example 1.
Large File
Example 2.
Small File
- Calculus
Examples (Bob Hoar)
In the final
two examples, a mathematics professor uses podcasts to guide students through
the solution of particular calculus problems.
Example 1. Derivative
Example 2. Riemann
Sum

This is a simple example to illustrate how a podcast could
be used to describe features of a program like Excel.
2. D2L
Example
Desire2Learn or D2L is a course management
system, similar to Blackboard, that some UW-La Crosse faculty use to enhance
face-to-face instruction or for complete course delivery. This podcast
describes how to add a new student to a course in D2L.
The podcast was created in response to a
question concerning how our campus computes a faculty member's SEI (Student
Evaluation of Instruction) score. The SEI score is the fractional median of
the response to a particular question on our student evaluation form. This
gives an overview of what the fractional median is, and how it is computed.
4.
Math
for Elementary Teachers Examples
Example 1: In this podcast, students will explore an alternative
method to factoring quadratic expressions.
Example 2: This example shows future elementary school
teachers how to score student work using a rubric by examining the level of
understanding illustrated in a probability task.
- Sketchcast
- "How-To"
Examples
The following two podcasts are intended to guide you
through the process of creating, editing and producing two different types of
podcasts using Camtasia.
1. How to Create
Podcasts simlar to the Calculus Podcasts.
2. How to
Create a "Chalk-Talk" type podcasts.

you will find a number of simple backgrounds in a Word document that you may
use to create a podcast of your own.
