There's a new comment in Recording online interactions the easy way? Part 1 from Matt Pasiewicz at Educause which invited me to visit their new trial podcast service. Matt's comment also attracted my attention to just how developed the Educause blog is becoming. The Educause blog is well populated and Matt indicates that although the new podcast feed (podcast URI) hasn't quite developed into a series yet, Educause is beginning to develop their ideas from initial experiments and they now want to explore ways to take it to the next level. If Auricle readers have any ideas let Matt know at matt@educause.edu.
What's really impressive is how Educause is acting as an example, or perhaps even as an exemplar, of how technologies can be used to support learning. I think the UK's ALT site could certainly benefit from adopting (or adapting) the Educause example instead of relying on the limited JISCMail service to facilitate, and sometimes hide, member interaction.
Email is where knowledge goes to die (Bill French, Myst-Technology, April 2003) and so it's really good to see Educause providing the tools for their members to share, not hide, knowledge and points of view.
P.S - I've also made several additions to the list of podcasts at the end of my recent Probing podcasting from the professionals article.
