I learned in 2007 that no matter which e-tools you’re using, your human touch to the online environment is still what matters the most to create a meeting place that is inviting, that makes students comfortable to try out.

GabriellaListening Plus Graduation - A Group of EFL Students

You mentioned you use Skype and that you broadcast music. I am assuming you play the music on itunes or other player, right? The stream will NOT capture individual song track titles and broadcast them. At least not with NiceCast. Like Lorna mentioned you can broadcast your show info. I am not sure there is an automatic plugin that will take this info from your music player. The only other alternative I would see is to broadcast audio like radio365. I am not sure what system configuration they use but the do shoutcast like us. Jose Rodriguez, Co-Facilitator Webcast Academy Session 2.3; It's Elementary Webcast

Hi If I understand your question correctly, you want to display the name of your stream, In Nicecast on the Mac in the "Broadcast" settings - select "Info" for the description , url, genre etc. Hope that is what you are looking for. Lorna CostantiniLornacosTrack data - how?

I'm not sure how this class is going to work this time how do I know I'm in and what else do I need to do to prepare myself for the course Mireillemireille3.x Introductions
My name is Mireille said like Me-Ray. I live in Toronto Canada. I was a VP of International Training, left to go on sabbatical for a couple of years. I will be returning to a new job, new company in the fall. I have to find one first. My interest in Webcast Academy is to learn a new tool that I can use to enhance my corporate world. I review training programs for both the education and corporate world for a magazine called Training Media Review www.tmreview.com Just recently I audited an online course on podcasting. Although I'm not reviewing this course, I'm motivated to learn this because of the people involved and because what they do is so inspirational. My plan is to learn more webcasting as another tool I can use to add to my corporate learning toolchest. I tried last summer to attend this course and couldn't complete it but I have made time this summer to complete the course and to participate where I can --- as a volunteer, or contributor. I just think this is so fascintating and I'm very lucky to have found this group. thank you for allowing me in and being so patience with my questions. Mireillemireille3.x Introductions
Hi Joyce, Love the notion of the "mash-up" -- you're gonna fit right in around here. Doug Symington intern-webcaster-in-trainingDoug3.x Introductions

Hi Randy,
To date we've just had the meetings on Thursday nights (during ETBS) and Saturdays. We're hoping to have the course "moodle-ized" so that interns may work through content at their own speed. We're still working on exactly what this will look like, but there's some more info in the audio I just posted. Let us know what time(s) work best for you.

On a related note, we're going to be using Jing Project to make screen captures of each of steps in the 'casting process for both Mac and Win -- the first of these is posted as a resource in the moodle http://webcastacademy.com

We're also going to try and use http://twemes.com/webcastacademy to keep track of proceedings.

Please don't hesitate to make any suggestions or comments about the WCA and thanks for helping to make the academy better.

Hi Doug, I've wanted to do the webcast academy for a while. Is it too late to join in? Joyce PS If you need some Moodle help, I'm Moodle Admin for my organisation.catspyjamasnz3.x Introductions
I introduced myself a few comments down. Will we be contacted as to when we will start? I try my best to find out when the next meeting is, but I feel like I am missing some. Any help would be welcome.randynobx3.x Introductions
