*By podcasting we really mean “Creating and digitizing audio, video, lectures, presentations, etc. and making them available on the web so students can access them when and where they need them on the device of their choice,” but that doesn’t fit in the menu bar. Sorry. Please also see the Lecture Capture section if you are interested in recording live lectures, live streaming events, or making narrated PowerPoints easily available online.
