Welcome to the CETL Podnovations
website.
Podnovations
is a series of pod casts sponsored by the GC&SU Center for Excellence
in Teaching and Learning on various topics related to teaching and
learning. Each of our channels below
contains multiple episodes, and we hope to continue to add new ones.
You must have iTunes 4.9 installed on your computer to subscribe to
pod casts and we have detailed instructions below for you.
Some of our pod casts are enhanced, which means that in iTunes on
your computer, in the video box to the lower left, you will see images
and may often also find hyperlinks to outside resources. If you
sync your iPod to your computer, you can see these images, but won't
be able to click on the hyperlinks.
Miss a workshop? You can catch up through our workshop pod casting
channel. Want information on campus resources related to
teaching and learning or to listen to our newsletter? Explore the CETL information channel.
Want information on assessment? Teaching gender issues? Want to know
more about books related to teaching and learning? Explore these and
other channels below. CETL also welcomes contributions from
faculty on campus and off. If you wish to contribute an episode,
contact Deborah Vess. Happy
listening!
