Progress Report

I’m about 90% of the way through Episode Two. Recorded the instructional portion last night. Thought I’d review my checklist.

• Audio Capture and Editing Went with Audacity. Getting better with practice.
• Find music for (a) Free and (b) Useable for (marginally) commercial purposes Located a music site that has Creative Commons music. SectionZ has some useable techno music. Found some that is reminiscent of disco music. Took some 15 and 30 second bumps.
• Podcast Hosting (other than piqueroinc.com [bandwidth]) Using Ourmedia and the Internet Archive for the audio files. I think I’ve figured out how to link to the MP3.
• Examples and Student Map hosting (maybe/maybe not piqueroinc.com) Going to store the supplemental files under the E_Papers section of the Piqueroinc web site.
• Framework for a Series Syllabus ( segment topics/features covered) I’ve mapped out 10 episode. Slightly different sequence than the Fundamentals class outline.
• Create a new company for series examples (Igor’s Balloon Factory(IBF)) Not much progress other than planning on IBF as the example.
• Revise the Student Maps to reflect my objectives Ongoing as I develop each segment.
• Build a Knowledge Management Map to keep track of components Ongoing but started with first two episodes.
• Script the episodes using Mind Manager (and save as Show Notes) Ongoing. I’ve scripted the first two.
• Record and edit the materials Pod#1 complete and Pod#2 is 90% complete.
• Build a better references list of resources for follow-up information Ongoing. Updated my master bibliography, still more work to go.
• Treat This As A FUN Thing to do, once I commit. (like now) It is fun to solve problems.
