A Podcasting Initiative at the Center for the Enhancement of Learning, Teaching, and University Assessment at Miami University (Ohio)

Abstract

During fall 2009, a series of podcasts were developed in conjunction with the Center for the Enhancement of Learning, Teaching, and University Assessment (CELTUA) at Miami University (Ohio). This podcasting initiative created a series of podcasts to serve as a resource for Miami faculty, staff, administrators, and teaching assistants (both graduate and undergraduate). By providing a mobile, on-demand form of faculty and professional development, CELTUA has the ability to reach a demographic that they previously had not engaged. In this article, the author provides background information on the decisions revolving around podcasting at the Center, the methods and evaluations utilized in producing the podcasts, as well as the future goals of the newly adopted form of faculty and professional development at Miami University.
