March Brownbag Lunch

This month's brown bag lunch discussion adressed using podcasting in the classroom. While some students listen to lectures on their ipods, most still access podcasts from their computers. Greg Priebe uses a podcast in his Survey of English Lit. Listen to a sample from his course .
Wisc-Online has created a great collection of learning objects, many of them simulations. It is now possible to purchase the source code or a CD copy of some of the learning objects, but you can still link to them for free in your courses. They are especially strong in the sciences and business. Take a look ; you will need to register, but there is no charge. Another site is Merlot . Merlot posts links to online learning materials along with annotations such as peer reviews and assignments. The collection is extensive and covers all disciplines.
Hope to see you at the April brown bag lunch...Ideas for discussion topics are welcome.
