Workshop resources on Google Docs and podcasting added to the NDLR
Google Docs – a presentation and handout for a 1 hour introductory workshop to Google Docs and the word-processing application – see also http://elearn.itcarlow.ie/topic/GoogleDocs.htm for a description of Google Docs, a screencast showing some basic features and useful links.Podcasting – a presentation for a 1 hour introductory workshop to podcasting – see also http://elearn.itcarlow.ie/topic/podcasts.htm & http://elearn.itcarlow.ie/topic/audacity.htm for information on the educational uses of podcasting and screencasts & links for Audacity.
If anyone wants copies of the screencast files, please contact Damien Raftery. Note that the files are Office 2007 – for some reason when uploaded to the NDLR, the file extension changed to .zip – if you manually change it back to .docx or .pptx it will open as normal.

New Masters
In a flagrant (mis)use of the blog for self-promotion purposes today’s post is about a new Masters degree in Media Design the Cork Institute. This is a taught masters beginning this September, specifically designed for multimedia and media design graduates. It runs over a relatively short nine month period, is flexibly delivered and, enjoys joint accreditation with the University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt, Germany (the only such award in Europe). Please pass on the word to any interested students passing through your offices over the summer time (we are accepting applicants until late August).
