What's a BatCast?

February 13, 2009

What’s a BatCast? A BatCast is the BatCave’s name for a PodCast. PodCasts are like downloadable radio programs.
Our BatCasts are (so far) for professional development here at the college, little snippets of wisdom from members of our academic and professional community.
This page organizes them: once you find one you want to listen to, click the link and it should play on your computer (make sure you have the sound "on").
If it doesn’t work, it might be time to contact our Help Desk. Sometimes a little bit of tweaking might be required to make things work on your machine.
