Podcasting Faculty and Professional Learning Community (Podcasting - FPLC)

Comprised of faculty and staff across a variety of disciplines we approach the topic of podcasting from very diverse perspectives. The Podcasting FPLC is one of a family of FPLC's created by Brad Kincaid, Director of our Center for Teaching and Learning (2005-2007). Each FPLC has a facilitator that supports and coordinates the group's activities. The FPLC's are set up to have both group and individual goals related to the topic, in our case podcasting. We are encouraged to assess outcomes of our efforts and report these outcomes via the Internet and at a yearly campus wide FPLC event.
