Helping academics reach broader audiences: CEU Library’s Podcast Workshops

The CEU Library’s Media Hub is currently offering it’s 3rd annual podcasting workshop. This presentation briefly introduces the Media Hub, the technology resources in its audio lab, and then goes on to discuss its annual podcasting workshop open to students, faculty and staff. This non-credit workshop is extremely popular, allowing members of the CEU community the opportunity to communicate their research interests through an alternative medium to the traditional academic monograph. Depending on their intentions, this allows them to reach a broader audience with their research, or to better communicate to those in their respective disciplines, for whom this format is becoming a more common arena for academic discourse. In this presentation we share information about the program we offer, the technology we use, as well as some of our experiences.
