Symposium for the Future
Technologies and practices that are just beginning to show promise in an educational or social context may well be commonplace in that time frame. The applicability of technology — whether established or emerging — to the social, environmental, and educational challenges we face today is the central theme of the Symposium. Projects that test the applicability of new ideas, research into new solutions for global problems, and demonstrations of cutting-edge tools are all part of this exploration of the future.

Teaching With Tunes: 21 Ideas for Incorporating Music Throughout the Curriculum, Folwell Dunbar
Today, the possibilities for using music in the classroom are virtually limitless. New technologies allow us (and our students) to do incredible things. We can easily research, find, and download individual songs. We can meld them into multimedia presentations or splice them into musical medleys. We can record our own renditions, translate lyrics into other languages, produce music videos, visualize sounds graphically, and much, much more. The following are just a few ideas to get the records...sorry, the MP3's...spinning:
JOLT - Journal of Online Learning and Teaching
The use of audio files, specifically podcasts, has become more visible and accessible to students in higher education. Despite a lack of pedagogical research on the benefits of podcasting, several universities have adopted the technology of using audio for instruction outside of class and sharing of information. Although institutions and instructors have embraced the technology, have the students? A professor in an introductory geoscience course for nonscience majors recorded the audio from classroom lectures and made these audio files available through the university’s online course management system. Student accesses of the audio files were tracked. The students were surveyed about their knowledge on how to utilize the audio files and if they believed the audio to be of some use. Although percentages were not high in terms of student accesses to individual lectures, and a little over half the students were aware of how to access and utilize the files, all of the students reported a perceived value to having lecture podcasts available.
