Podcasting at Penn State

The following resources will help you learn about how Penn State can support your podcasting needs.

Recording Software on University Park Classroom Podium Computers

Teaching and Learning with Technology maintains a full suite of audio recording and editing software on all of the lab and classroom computers at University Park. We have our favorites here at Education Technology Services and even provide instruction on their use. All of the audio tools currently installed on Information Technology Services computers in labs and classrooms can record and edit audio. Some are more complex than others and we urge you to try a few before you make your final podcasting decision. We have designed support materials for the tools we have found to be best suited for podcasting.
