Podcast Production

College 2.0 is designed to look more closely at what young people hope to get out of college and what the experience actually provides. To gain greater insight into these questions, we will examine many of the challenges currently facing higher education in the United States including widespread concern about the costs of higher education, the difficulties associated with expanding accessibility, worries about the quality of education being provided, and the impact of technology, distance learning, and MOOCs on traditional institutions of higher education.
-Professor Abe Feuerstein

Project Description: Learning to create a podcast is an opportunity for you to reach beyond typical college writing assignments to address a broader audience. In today’s tech driven society, it is important to be able to be a critical consumer of media and one of the best ways to develop your skills in this area is to gain experience as a media producer. I like this assignment because it encourages your creativity, your ability to work together in groups, and helps you to understand the significant effort that must be invested when one wants to communicate ideas clearly. By becoming podcast authors, my hope is that you will come to see podcasts as a unique and compelling form of communication, and see yourself as a producers of media as well as a consumers.
