Come see how the new generation of freshman composition courses use podcasting, video, still images and interactivity to engage students in the writing process. Using various Web 2.0 tools, see how podcasting can be used not only as a mode of delivering content, but also as a mode of interaction between faculty and students. Video is used not just as a prewriting activity, but also as a mode of expression and argument. These and many others can be accomplished with little training and inexpensive tools that many students already own.
Vimeo makes it easy for you to upload any kind of video you make. You get 500 megabytes of storage every week, and they keep the original files so you (or others) can download them at anytime. You can also create vodcasting channels, albums and groups. Here is an example of a channel I created for a track team: http://vimeo.com/channel6780
Ustream.TV is the live interactive video broadcast platform that enables anyone with a camera and an Internet connection to quickly and easily broadcast to a global audience of unlimited size. With Ustream's interactive broadcast functionality, viewers can personally interact directly with whoever is broadcasting. Example: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/freshmancomp-live
Tokbox is a free service that lets you talk with people over live video. When you want to talk with anyone, just give them the link to you page - they click and you chat. They make it easy for you to put your TokBox on your social network profile, blog, or personal webpage. Anyone can come to your page and see a "Push to Talk" button. They click it and connect to you in real time using live video and audio.
Mode of Interaction Between Students
Utterli
Utterli is a group messaging service. You can mix and mash text, pics, video and voice in one post for sharing with your friends and groups. It's a great discussion tool where students can participate by posting either photos, audio, video, text or combinations of all. And convenient and easy. Call your local Utterli number (712.432.6666 in the US) to record a new utter, listen and reply to other utters. Send video, pictures and text to go@utterli.com for public messages or private@utterli.com for private messages. Sending within 10 minutes of recording by phone will match up your video, picture or text with your recording.
Below is an example from last year's MaricopaTech planning session using Utterli. I created a widget that compiles any utter that is tagged: maricopatech.
Since then Utterli has changed names and upgraded to include group creation. It's easy to set up a group in Utterli. I set up the group below for my ENG101: Freshman Composition course. They use it to post discussion journals. We started with a discussion about ethos, pathos, and logos, and now they have progressed on to election issues.
