Learning Technologies Summary

I have for several years now incorporated not only power point lecture slides with audio narration into my online courses, but have also recorded podcasts for my students to listen to. I use these formats to expound on additional material or thoughts I have had when reading student work or assigned/optional texts. I have also incorporated videos from YouTube and TED Talks and make an effort to have at least one such video and/or podcast per week for my online courses, and often have more. 

Here I paste the ´table of contents´ from one of my online courses (SOC 4200 Sociology of the Body) as an example.
