  • Ep17- Oh We Are? OER- Teachers Are Going Open and Students Are Here to Help

    Discussing the growth of OER- Open Educational Resources, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the landscape of education. More faculty are harnessing the power of online tools to create a more dynamic experience for their students in the classrooms and online. There is no better time to be a student as colleges across the country continue their path of innovation.

    Paradise Valley Community College began its Open Educational Resource Specialist program in the Spring of 2019. A year later, this innovative team helped faculty find resources to keep their students engaged and thriving despite losing access to on-campus resources and amidst students' financial concerns. That innovative team continues its mission to save students money, give faculty more agency over their learning materials, and give back to colleges around the nation.

  • Ep15- Podcasting- Four Different Types of Podcasts

    When podcasting first made its way to the iPod and phones many years ago, there was a great fear that podcasting could in fact be the death of radio. As we know that is far from the truth, but it does offer many ways of offering spoken word to reach all types of listeners.


    A podcast can be in the form of a storytelling experience, an interview, crime dramas, or a casual conversation between two sports fans discussing the weekend’s football games to entertain you on a long commute.  

    We’ll discuss that today, we will talk about the 4 basic types of podcasts that tend to work well with listeners and these formats are now pretty much standard in the podcast industry.

    Podcasting continues to grow rapidly. Since 2016, the number of listeners has doubled. We believe that has something to do with more people owning smartphones, the creation of higher quality content worth listening to, as well as the wave of changes that swept around the world when COVID 19 sent people into isolation looking for digital content.

  • Ep14- Welcome Back: Doing Things Differently

    As summer comes to an end, faculty, staff, and students are now trickling back to the PVCC campus for Fall 2022.  Coming out of a pandemic offered many online and remote learning challenges and as well as learning to work and regaining our working relationships, it’s now time to really get back into creating projects, collaborating with others and using new digital media to enhance our courses.

    This episode is just an update on the new location of the CTLEE- Center for Teaching, Learning and Employee Engagement and as well to discuss a few online tools that I have been using over the last 2 and a half years to create digital media to support instruction while working remotely during COVID-19 and while our new CTLEE was being remodeled to move us closer to the center of campus.


    I will briefly discuss Canvas, Google Sites and touch on a new tool that I used over the summer that I am sure faculty and staff will find a lot of fun as well with easy to learn and implement into your course materials.

  • Ep13- What is Digital Media?

    This podcast of the TOAST EDU, Sam Fraulino, the instructional multimedia developer will discuss digital media.  So what exactly is digital media? Is it graphics you upload to your Canvas course?  It’s video, audio, software, or other content that is created, edited, stored, or accessed in digital form.  We know in today’s fast paced digital world as well with the rapid changes in higher education, the distribution of digital media will soon outpace the creation and distribution of standard print newspapers, magazines, and textbooks.

    The main benefit of digital media in education is that it can increase student engagement. In addition, it helps students work through difficult concepts with multiple resources.  It can fuel creativity as well, especially if your student has a hand in the creation of the content.

    The New Media Lab Experience at PVCC's Creative Commons welcomes students, faculty, and staff to a space where they can create multimedia projects, collaborate with others, and utilize the latest content-creating technology for videography and podcasting.

    For faculty and staff, we will provide opportunities for personal and professional growth. For students, we provide the opportunity to develop their written communication with a focus on digital publication. Whether researching a topic for a website, podcast, or video documentary, students will need to develop their written content and support their information with credible sources before transferring their work to a digital form.

    Bits-N-Crumbs Segment!


    YouTube is one of the world’s leading video hosting websites for hosting all types of online videos.  From piano playing cats to educational documentaries, there are millions of videos on YouTube that can benefit student learning.  

    So how do you get those videos to play inside your Canvas course/content?  Sure, you can paste in a long complicated URL into your page and have your students click on a link, but there is a much better way.

    Embed it!  Make the video that is hosted on YouTube play right inside your Canvas content, without the student having to leave your course or copy and paste a link.  This podcast will talk about how easy it is to take any video on YouTube and embed it right inside your Canvas content.
