TCU's Center for Instructional Services wants to build a podcast database of classroom lessons and events. Some TCU professors are seeing better grades after adding podcasts to class. Reports the Daily Skiff:
Several instructors at TCU have used podcasting in their classes. Dave Upton, associate professor of kinesiology said he experienced a sharp grade increase when he replaced the lab component of his class with the podcasts recorded by CIS.
"Grades went from an average of 67 - which is not passing - to the high 80s," Price said.
