Podcasting

WOW!!
I did not really know much about podcasting, but I have been reading about it and I have learned so much. A podcast is audio or video on the web that can be cataloged and automatically downloaded. I had no idea what it was in the least, but now I have even found programs you can get to help students in things like grammar and math. I think that this tool is very helpful for online course today. I love how easy podcasting is and how helpful it can be to a student. This tool seems like something even traditional instructors could use in their course.
This is the site where I found samples programs that are available:

I loved this site well most of all the programs shown on the site. These programs are geared more towards younger students, but is still very helpful. I can't wait to read more about the podcasting tool!!!

Distance Learning in Business

Distance Learning in a Business is a new and upcoming trend. When I was trying to research websites related to Distance Learning in Businesses I found most websites have to do with a online business degree. As I researched this more, I also found some websites on certificate programs you could obtain online to better your education on the subject offered. This reminds me of what we are doing in this program, we are bettering our knowledge about distance learning.

I was able to find numerous articles that deal with the medical field these certificate programs are being offered. These types of programs to me are very beneficial for employees and employers today. They offer new technologies and ways of using information without having to leave the office. These programs can be obtained while the business person is still at work. This helps make obtaining these degrees or certificates cheaper and less of a hassle on the employee and the employer. I feel like these programs will eventually help all of us in the business world to better ourselves and our company. This will help educate us on new technologies and information in our field.
