Listeners Perform Better on Tests
A new study Lecture
Podcast Listeners Outperform Class Attendees found that
students who listen to lectures on podcasts test better than
those who listen in class. Average scores of podcast listeners
were not stellar - they averaged a C grade or 71 %. But this
bested the D average 61% score of students who only heard the
test material in the lecture hall. |

QTrax
Qtrax,
an Internet company that promises the first free music download
service paid for by advertisements, said Wednesday it had signed
up the last of the four major recording companies and plans
to relaunch next month.
The privately held New York firm's premature launch last year
annoyed the major record labels with whom it had not yet signed
licensing contracts.
With the signing of Warner Music Group Corp., Qtrax now has
added all the major labels and their publishing units, following
deals with Universal Music Group in May, EMI Group Ltd. in June,
and Sony Music Entertainment in December. |

Podcasting
and Education
Increasingly popular as an educational tool, podcasting
is gaining ground locally as an instructive instrument in the
everyday lives of students and educators.
In its simplest form, podcasts enable teachers and students
to share information with one another at any time. Podcasting
allows students to take audio or video files from the classroom
and download them onto their personal computers or portable
media players, such as iPods and MP3 players.

iPod
Touch Can Become an iPhone
VOIP provider Jajah on Thursday announced a application
that will allow the iPod touch to be used as a VOIP phone, essentially
giving it iPhone-like functionality.
The application is the second of its kind, following a similar
VOIP application from Truphone that was announced late last
year. Both route calls through the touch's Wi-Fi connection
over the Internet. In Jajahs case, the service allows the user
to either place a free call to other Jajah users, or call landline
or mobile users at discounted rates, including internationally
to 200 countries.

Execs on the Hook for YouTube Incident?
Thanks to a three-minute cellphone video posted on Google
Video in 2006, four of the companys executives may face jail
time in Italy.
The four defendants, including senior vice president David Drummond,

Effective
Podcasting Tips
Many people assume that podcasting is all about audio and
fail to acknowledge the writing behind the show. Skilled communicators
understand the type of planning required in order to pull off
a clean final product. The most memorable and effective podcasts
are always well planned. Some of the best podcast shows use
a script and follow a structured format. The preparation that
occurs behind the scenes is similar to what would take place
for a radio show.
