Carnegie Mellon student project

TalkShoe has just begun doing a project with students from Carnegie Mellon University MISM program which is a joint technology-business masters degree. The students will be looking at methods and best practices for marketing into social networks, especially MySpace, Facebook and Ning. This is part of TalkShoe’s new thrust into getting social networkers to use Talkcasts for discussions, conversations, and of course live podcasts.

Check out the students’ blog where they’ll be making their findings public and soliciting feedback. http://twelve300.com/

Entrepreneurship Course at Carnegie Mellon Univ.

I teach several courses at Carnegie Mellon University as an adjunct professor. These days, colleges like to offer courses taught by both university PhD professors, as well as by people in the “real world” like me.

Last semester I taught my Entrepreneurship & Business Planning course. Given my experience at TalkShoe, which lets people create live and interactive podcasts, I decided to create my course as a podcast. Instead of just recording lectures, I created the podcast separately and optimized it for iTunes, iPods, etc. The course is split up into 30+ classes each about 30 min. in length. I also assume there are no PowerPoint slides to view (although I provide those online also), and have no need for the informal chit-chat that we do in the classroom.

The podcast is free and online (Go to the Podcast) To date, my podcast episodes have been listened to over 50,000 times by over 3,000 students, a far cry from the 300 or so students I’ve taught in the classroom. This semester, the course is being used as a distance-learning class. In addition to the podcast, we have live classes on TalkShoe, and the students submit assignments via email. I’m really excited to use this new medium.
