To review, so far you have planned, produced, and encoded your podcast. But, you're not quite done yet. The final step is distributing it.
Your podcast and transcript files must be placed on a web server. You can't easily share what you've done without getting your files on the web. The rest of these instructions assume you've gotten your files online.
There are three basic ways to distribute your podcasts.
1. Create a web page for podcasts in your web site or in your LMS account. Add a link for each podcast (and transcript) you produce. Go to the SCCD Faculty Development Podcast Page for an example.
2. Use a blog to post your podcasts and transcripts. You can easily add images and brief show notes in your blog posting. Go to the SCCD Faculty Development Blog for an example.
3. Sign up for a podcasting service like PodOmatic or LibSyn. Just to let you know, I signed up for a PodOmatic account last night and I really didn't like the results. Office Depot was at the top of the web page for my podcast. There wasn't a way to post a transcript. I canceled my account so no preview is available.
By now you all know that I'm hoping you'll use a blog for posting your podcast and transcript.
The final step is setting up an RSS Feed. The easiest way to do this is to use FeedBurner. Pages 28 - 32 in the track handout show all the steps for using FeedBurner. I also found a short movie that you might want to watch.
I have one more important Web 2.0 tool called PageFlakes that I want to show you on Thursday. I believe it shows the true power of RSS and having information brought to you. I'm in love with my PageFlakes.
Gotta get some sleep now but I'm psyched about all the progress you've made so far.
