Reach 25 million people via podcasting???
Ok, there is a bit of marketing hype in the title of this post, but I got your attention – right?
Besides, it’s not all hype since this upcoming 3-webinar series by Higher Ed Experts includes a session about iTunes U, Apple’s free audio and video streaming hosting service – with strings attached though – provided to some institutions such as MIT, Yale, Duke, Bowdoin College and NJIT.
If there are some plans at your institution to start a podcasting program for marketing or academic purposes, this series scheduled on November 6, 7 and 8 will help you get started on the technical and promotional aspects in no time especially if you invite all the parties involved in your project.
Your $150 registration fee will cover for a group – as long as you use a single computer connected to an LCD projector – AND a free on-demand access to the recording for every staff member working at your institution the week after the live event.
You can register online by Friday at www.higheredexperts.com/podcasting
Here’s the program:
