Digital Media Studio Highlighted Projects
These are some of the interesting and unique projects that we are currently working on in the Digital Media Studio. These projects are either in the active phases of production (including writing, shooting, and editing) or are continuing and ongoing in nature, and are currently in development and expansion.
ASU alt^I Podcast
We have been actively pursuing the realm of podcasting since October of 2004, and the Digital Media Studio produced some of our first podcast programs in January of this year. Podcasting has experienced tremendous growth in popularity and activity throughout a wide range of applications in recent months. We have continued to explore this new technology and are committed to producing a weekly program that features samples of the digital media productions of Arizona State University including; audio lectures, special ASU presentation and event programming, digital photography, instructional media, and more.
Current programs, as well as past archived podcasts, are available at the ASU Applied Learning Technologies Institute Podcast page. The ASU alt^I Podcast also appears in the iTunes Podcast Directory. Simply search in the iTunes Music Store Podcast Category (using iTunes 4.9 or later) for "ASU" and select the "Subscribe" option for the ASU alt^I Podcast to view a selection our latest podcast programs.
