The BGSU Weblogs and Podcast system enables anyone with a BGSU email address to sign up online and begin blogging and/or podcasting/vodcasting in minutes. The system was designed to be very clean and simple to use. I will also discuss how various faculty, staff, and students use the system in different ways in the educational environment. |

Both the student perspective and the instructor perspective will be presented. Please bring your questions and concerns as both presenters are looking forward to an active session. |
