ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING modules I teach in the Limerick Institute of Technology invites students to dive into The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly and then emerge with thoughts concerning the effects technology has on our daily lives. We break down the exercise with a series of deep dives and structured discussion.

I'M CURRENTLY EXPERIMENTING with an educasting channel called "Emerging Trends" that I want to offer as a mini-MOOC through iTunes U, YouTube, and Spreaker.

The audio content should be available through all podcast services. At the moment, everything I'm doing revolves around creative multimedia workflow.

If we have planned things correctly, people using feed readers like Feedly, Inoreader, Pocket, or Web Subscriber (iOS) should be able to use those apps to discover rich media content from the Emerging Trends Channel when visiting selected website.

IT IS GOOD to take little steps to measure your progress and in the case of the Irish Youth Media Team, one of the next benchmarks is to gain more than 2000 total plays via the Spreaker Content Management System.

If you want to help, you can listen via the Spreaker website, go to the YMT.fm blog and tap on one of the podcast players, or subscribe to the Youth Media Team using your favourite podcatcher.

THE MAIN THRUST of the Public Relations module taught on the Clonmel Digital Campus in 2018 was to analyse and support the annual ICT in Education Conference.

WE SPENT a semester exploring the persona of Dervala Hanley and along the way, I started seeing elements of my own personality through the lens of student Classroom OneNote entries. The process affirmed for me the importance of stepping back and learning from third person perspectives.

ONE OF THE MOST satisfying parts of the third level creative media degree on the Clonmel Digital Campus happens when students discover specific ways to attract an audience to their content. Some of the most incisive tracking occurs inside the Web Analytics module every autumn.
