We are about to begin an experiment in Podcasting for Learning. Josh
Weiss, our faculty for the CDM Re-Framing Conflict online learning (now
in its fourth year) will be starting a weekly podcast that will contain
a negotiating tip. Each podcast should run no more than three minutes.
Josh will record his weekly 'cast on a Creative Labs MP3 player (with
built-in voice recorder) that I picked up for him at the Cambridge
Galleria Mall. Once he captured the recording on the player, he can
upload it to his computer with a USB connection. He will then post it
the Josh Weiss Negotiating Tip category to our on Ottergroup weblog
site. 

When
Aixa and I come up for air next week, we'll put together a window on
our site that will hold the folder containing Josh's podcasts and an
explanation for “listeners” on how to subscribe to the category feed.We
will then promote the podcast through various elearning blogs and pubs,
as well as on the podcast blogs.

I am envisioning this as a way for us to promote our use of podcasting
in training and as a model for other portals where experts can 'cast
their knowledge in the tip-of-the-week format. I hope and believe the
podcasts will most importantly promote Josh as a terrific expert in the
field of negotiation and result in new projects for him (and for us in
the online learning space).
