30-043 Podcast

Overview

You can insert the learning resource podcast in your course, but it can also be used independently from any course. In a podcast you can offer audio and video content that, for example, members of your course can then evaluate and comment on. Additionally, members of your course automatically gain the right to create entries themselves.

The learning resource podcast can be created in the authoring area in order to insert it in a course, or you can create it directly in a course via the course element Podcast.

In this HelpCard you will learn how the learning resource Podcast can be created in the authoring area and how it will then be inserted in a course.

Important Steps

Creating the learning resource Podcast in Authoring:

  1. Click onto Authoring. There, click onto Create, then onto Podcast. Fill in a title for your Podcast and click onto Create. The Learning resource podcast has been created and you are now in the settings of the Learning resource.
  2. If desired, you can enter a Description, a Cover image or a Teaser movie. Save your changes. In the tab Metadata you can license your content (see HelpCard 00-040). In the tab Share you can configure different access options for your podcast (see HelpCard 10-070).
  3. To fill your podcast with content, click onto the name of your podcast in the bread crumb navigation above Administration.
  4. Click onto the button Create your own episode to create a first entry. Fill in a title and a description. You can insert the desired audio or video file either by dragging&dropping it into the field or by clicking onto Choose file.
  5. Click onto Publish when you finish editing the file.

 

To insert the created Learning resource podcast into your course, you need to follow the following steps:

  1. Open your course via Authoring.
  2. Click onto Administration and then onto Course editor. The Course editor opens up.
  3. Choose Insert course elements in the upper left-hand corner and under Knowledge transfer the course element Podcast. The Course element has been added to the course structure and can (if necessary) be moved to a different place via Drag&Drop. Alternatively it is possible to add course elements with the Quick-Add function in the yellow-lined menu on top of the course: Insert the name of the course element into the Quick-Add bar and push the Enter button.
  4. Fill in the title shown in the course structure under Title in the tab Title and description and, if desired, fill in the Description. Click onto Insert additional information to add Objectives, instructions or instructions for the coach. In Addition to this, you can Set a link for this course element by clicking onto the blue text and copying the predefined link. Save your changes.
  5. In the tabs Visibility and Access or Learning path you can, if desired, regulate the visibility and the access to the course elements:
    • If your course is a Conventional course, you will find more detailed information in HelpCard 10-030.
    • If your course is a Learning path course, you will find more detailed information in HelpCard 10-031.
  6. In the tab Layout you can change the layout of course elements. You can add background images to course elements or change the font colour. How to do this you will find in HelpCard 10-033.
  7. In the tab Podcast learning content you can Select, create or import a podcast. Click onto this button and select the podcast from the list. The Learning resource will be inserted into your course immediately. Should you not yet have created a Learning resource Podcast, you can do so by clicking onto the Create button in the upper right-hand corner.
  8. Under User rights, you can choose if members of your course with the role Coach and/or Participant should gain the right to Create items. Should they not be allowed to do that, you need to remove the tick next to the role.
  9. Click onto the red X in the upper right-hand corner to close the Course editor. To publish these changes, choose the option Yes, automatically (for further information about the publishing of course contents see HelpCard 10-020). The course view has been adjusted to include any changes made.

Attention: Participants can only create items once a first episode has been inserted into the podcast by the owner of the Learning resource.
