Week 11 - Nov 1
Our Class 11 wiki page is now available.
In this class we will learn how to create a podcast. In order to create a podcast you will need:
1. Either audio or video files
2. An RSS feed
3. A Web server to host the files (both the audio or video files and the XML RSS file)
4. The URL of the RSS feed (so that people can subscribe to it)
5. The means to update the RSS feed file each time you post a new episode
There is no assignment for this class. I am giving you the opportunity to learn how to create a podcast by allowing you to substitute a podcast project for the final test.
More information is located in the handout - final_project.pdf
Week 10 - October 25
Our Class_10 wiki page is now available.
In this class we will learn about video hosting and podcasting. In the next class we will learn how to create a podcast.
A podcast is an audio or video program that is broadcast over the Internet. The audio or video files are delivered to your computer by means of an RSS feed subscription. When you subscribe to a podcast, you receive the updates automatically. The file is downloaded to your computer so you can transfer it to a portable device. A podcast is similar to a radio or TV show that is broadcasted on a regular basis.
In order to subscribe to a podcast, you need to use an aggregator or podcatcher .This is specialized software that reads the RSS feed so it can display information about the podcast and download the audio or video file. Many blog aggregators, such as Google reader, can be used to subscribe to a podcast.
There is an assignment to accompany this class, which is due in 2 weeks!
