Classroom lab use

Postby Susan Shoup » Fri Sep 11, 2009 3:11 pm

Hello all,

I've created channels and some episodes for my students to use but how do [size=150]all [/size]my students log in to
use my broadcasts?

Merci bien!

Hello Susan,
Your students do not need to log in to view your podcast. When viewing your podcast, you will see a Image icon next to your channel name. Clicking on this will take you to a page where you should see some options like 'Subscribe to this podcast using ..iTunes, Choose Application...' etc. It is the URL to this page that you need to give to your students. This URL looks something like

http://clear.msu.edu/teaching/online/ri ... p?ID=49453

Once your students have this URL, they can use any software that is capable of subscribing to podcasts (example iTunes) to subscribe to your channel and listen to your recordings. For example, in iTunes, they would click on 'Advanced->Subscribe to Podcast...' and paste the URL above.

Thank you Vineet.

I followed your advice but it didn't work perhaps because there is something blocked here(?)
I opened iTunes and downloaded the podcast but it would not play. I also tried typing in the RSS feed URL but
that led to a page of gibberish....

If my students all log into my account using my password & email, what's the worst thing that could happen?

UGH.

merci encore,
susan

Can you tell me the exact text you're typing in the 'Subscribe to Podcast..' dialog box in iTunes? I suspect you might be copy-pasting the wrong url.
