EDLD 5363 - Week 2 Web Conference - November 23, 2011

After a late start, I was beginning to think I had not calculated the time correctly for Mountain Standard Time zone, Dr. Abernathy logged in and began the session. Many of us had questions regarding the assignment. "Were we to do a podcast with or without pictures or videos?" seemed to be the main problem. The instructions were somewhat confusing between the weekly overview and the assignment itself. Traditionally, a podcast is an audio file only, though there are "vodcasts," which are podcasts with video included. Dr. Abernathy expressed that our focus in the podcast should be presenting information that is universally accessible for all. We were to practice working with audio only, similar to our video focused assignment from week 1. Another point from the web conference was the need to post the "free video editing software evaluation" on both our ePortfolio site and the discussion board for others to view. This created a resource for all of us to view the variety of options available. The conference really cleared up many of the questions I had about the assignment for this week. It also helped to know that I was not the only one struggling to get my head around the work required. I am looking forward to our web conference next week as we explore the ins and outs of our group project.
