Course Stories, Season 4 , Episode 3:Live from OLC Innovate: The Power of Podcasting in Higher Ed
We’re thrilled to bring you a special episode of Course Stories recorded live from the heart of the Online Learning Consortium Innovate Conference (OLC). Our dynamic duo, Mary Loder and Ricardo Leon, took to the conference floor to dive deep into the world of podcasting and its transformative role in higher education.
The world of higher education is ever-evolving, and one of the mediums making waves in this dynamic landscape is podcasting. At the recent OLC Innovate Conference, a premier gathering for online learning professionals, our very own Mary Loder and Ricardo Leon took center stage to delve into this burgeoning trend, presenting an exciting and engaging session at OLC. They were able to share a behind-the-scenes look at how we produce and curate stories for the Course Stories podcast, discuss the challenges of recording, and share some tips for future podcasters out there. With the help of Tim McKean, Mary and Ricardo were able to chat with a number of attendees to hear their experiences and get their insight and advice for podcast newbies.
