CoCoCast

Welcome to CoCoCast; the Cochise College Online Campus Podcast. CoCoCasts are created by the director of the Online Campus and are part of the professional development effort for faculty and staff working with the online campus. A new CoCoCast is posted on the second and fourth Friday of every month, so check back here often - or just add this page to your podcatcher software. There is more information about podcasting at the bottom of this page.

Your comments are welcome and you can send them to the Director of the Online Campus by emailing selfg@cochise.edu.

General Information about Podcasts

If you are new to podcasting you may want to read the excellent article (in PDF format) posted on the Educause site. This is a brief introduction to podcasting written in a human language, not geekeze.

You can listen to CoCoCast by clicking the MP3 link above. However, to enjoy the full benefits of podcasting (that is, automatically download new casts), you will need some sort of "podcatcher" software. The staff of the online campus recommends Juice for this job. This software is easy to use, will automatically download podcasts for you, and (best of all) is free.

If you have a podcatcher on your computer, the CoCoCast feed is linked to the orange-and-blue RSS button below.

An RSS feed is available on this page.
