Episode 53 – Open and Shut
4 March, 20102 comments
The podcast regulars Dan, Tom, and Mills are joined this week by irregular Jeff McClurken, who discusses how he used videos of TED talks in his class last fall. We also talk about the impact of the technology lawsuits and patents awarded recently, which put a cloud over many platforms academics and museums use. It also makes us wonder about the sustainability of digital creations, both from a technical standpoint and from a financial one. And no podcast would be complete without a crazy Facebook post.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that I co-taught the TED class with Tim O’Donnell, a Communications professor at UMW, and co-created the class with the students.
