TxDLA conference, March 26-29, 2007
The pre-conference session I am attending on Monday afernoon is called "Global Voices: Interactive Podcasting and VOIP Projects." I am hoping that the information will be useful for our communications with Kenya Baptist Theological College.
The first tool that we observed was YackPack. This tool allows for leaving audio messages asynchronously, but they can be played back sequentially. The teacher could pose a question and the students could answer over the course of a couple of days. Then the messages could be played back to present a dialog.
A number of other free audio tools were presented: gabcast.com, bubbleshare.com,mychingo (which will become mobatalk in the near future), and studio.odeo.com. I will begin to investigate these tools and explore the possibilities for university online classes. The presenter has a blog at vickiwiki.pbwiki.com. If you want the password, let me know.
