Well, it has been a while, hasn’t it?  Again.  Apparently, I have had a busy fall …

I gave a presentation at the 8th Hawaii International Conference on Education a couple of days ago, and it was called “Putting a Face on E-Learning: A Strategy to Integrate Faculty Videos into YouTube, iTunes U and a Virtual Learning Environment.”  The primary focus of my talk was to help provide some “big picture” thoughts on how faculty can work with the rest of the university (administration, marketing, etc) to help ensure long-term success.  If you are interested, you can download my presentation here.

Well, it has been a long time since my last posting.  For a number of reasons.    However, I am pleased to say that there are nine world religion video summaries that are now available on iTunes U!   They are a part of the RELS201 Introduction to World Religions course that I teach at APUS.  I hope that you find them to be useful.

Well, believe it or not, I am now on iTunes U!  Crazy.  As part of our ongoing e-learning initiatives at AMU, I have been creating and incorporating video summaries into some of my online classes.  Within the classes, the target group has been current students.  As a next step, the university is expanding its reach outside of its digital “walls”, and has now started to provide a selection of course videos as free podcasts through iTunes U.

So … if you are interested in watching some of my weekly Introduction to the Bible video summaries, you can subscribe to this video podcast.  Let me know what you think!

Well, after a lot of testing, crashing, uploading, fixing, more testing and more uploading (yeesh!), I now have a full set of course videos created for RELS311 Introduction to the Bible!  Some of them are classroom specific, but most are publicly available (and will also be available as podcasts on iTunes U).  If you are curious, I have posted the course introduction video below:

In addition, I have created a “Course Videos” page that will be periodically updated with new videos, etc.

Let me know what you think, and feel free to give me ideas for new course resources!

I need your help.    I am creating a series of brief video podcasts for some of my classes at AMU, in order to help students focus on the key topics and ideas each week.  However, before I create a whole bunch and make them available to my students, I would appreciate getting some feedback first.

So … if you could watch this Week 1 video for Introduction to the Bible and then give me some constructive criticism, feedback, advice, etc, that would be great.  Thanks!

Are you looking for a challenge for 2009?  How about learning the language that the New Testament was written in?  That should keep you busy for a while.

Through iTunes U, Concordia Seminary has put both video and audio podcasts of their Elementary Greek class online.  Check them out, download them, and learn Biblical Greek as you commute to school or work.

Have a great New Year!
