Kentucky State University Employs Podcasting As A Teaching Tool

KSU on iTunes U

The University employs the use of technology as an alternative and creative way to: enhance teaching and learning, increase recruitment, increase retention, increase reserves, assist students in successfully reaching their goals, and to communicate with future students, current students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and the public. Podcasting will support these initiatives.

For more information on podcasting please see the FAQ section. Kentucky State University has signed an agreement with Apple to make podcasts readily available to the KSU community. Using iTunes U, you can access course content and university information from within iTunes U at any time.

KSU on iTunes U is a pilot project. During the pilot, the University is assessing iTunes U educational usefulness and delivery of podcasts. There are currently 9 faculty and staff members participating in the pilot. To gain access to the podcasts associated with their courses, KSU faculty and students must log into Blackboard. Course podcasts will be accessible to students who are registered and enrolled for that course via Blackboard, provided the faculty member is participating in the pilot. General public access does not require a username and password. All users of KSU on iTunes U must have iTunes installed. The software is available for free at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
