Social
Psychology Lectures
This podcast series contains lectures (and class
discussion) from my PSY 216 Social Psychology classes at
Portland Community College in
Portland, Oregon, USA.
It is my way of making my classroom lectures available to
my students through their computers and MP3 players. I
record my lectures and post them as an
enhanced podcast (which means it
includes the slides from my lectures). Then if they
have to miss class, or want to review my lecture, they
can. It is a very useful tool for students to enhance
their learning experience. Students report high
satisfaction with the podcasts and the iTunes
distribution technology, and feel the podcasts help
them understand lecture better, and report benefits
for their exam scores.
If you want to experience the podcast, you'll do well to
use
iTunes, Apple Computer's free (and
excellent) digital media player. iTunes is especially
useful because you can open iTunes' "
artwork and video viewer," which
contains the slides of my lecture, synchronized with
the audio. You can also go straight to a part of the
lecture using iTunes' "Chapter" menu.
