Podcast Capture
Podcast Capture was introduced with Mac OS X
10.5 (Leopard), and allows users to record and
distribute podcasts. The software requires a
connection to a computer running Mac OS X Server
with Podcast Producer.
Users can record input from a local or remote audio
or video device, capture screen activity, or choose
an existing file to upload and distribute.

Students’ feedback
1402 feedback 2/24/10
Please comment on lab/podcasting activity
It was hard to try and finish, since we have never done it
before and I didn’t know how to manage my time
between planning and recording effectively.
It was very hard, not because the assignment was hard
but because time was limited and computers usually
don’t like me.
It was a good opportunity to check grammars and vocabs
before the chapter exam.

Students’ feedback
It was really good for exercising speaking.
Hard! I didn’t have enough time to finish it.
(assuming about Audio Lectures) I listened a lot while
sick
more time plz
I thought it was helpful, it was just hard to do since it was
the first time.
Pretty good, but I wish we had more time to do it.

Keypoints to a successful lesson
•Step-by-step instructions
•Sample recording
•Checklist for requirements (functions,
grammar, vocabulary
•Task complete within classtime (1-3
minute recording)
•Work in pairs/groups
CATJ22: SCHNEIDER
Reflections
•I am always looking for ways to engage
students. They seem to retain materials
better. Students can become the creator of
work. They get to be creative and take the
initiatives.
•Prepared speech leads into proficiency in
conversation/speaking?
•Copyright material
•Intellectual property issues
