Explore Podcast Potential with Podcasting Plus Grant Program

November 15, 2006 by Doug Worsham

Building on the success of the current round of podcasting grants, DOIT’s Engage program is once again offering to help instructors experiment with audio learning and podcasting. Their next set of grants will focus on "enhanced podcasts" which are audio podcasts that can incorporate still images, video, chapter markers, and web links.

The new grants will once again offer funding for equipment and software as well as consultation time with instructional technologists. To apply, fill out the short online application by November 19.

These grants are an excellent way to expand your teaching portfolio, explore audio learning, and enrich your students' learning experience. 

Please note that although this funding is not from L&S LSS, we often provide grantees in the College of Letters & Science with the support needed for developing and producing podcasts.

To see some of our initial experiments with enhanced podcasting, please visit http://lss.wisc.edu/~doug/podcast or the Engage Program's example podcast site - http://engage.doit.wisc.edu/podcasting/examples/

If you’d like to talk about a podcasting project for your course or need help with an idea for your grant, feel free to contact Doug Worsham (doug@lss.wisc.edu) with L&S Learning Support Services.
