Enhanced Podcasts

Issue:

Most of us have been saving our enhanced podcasts as .m4a format. This format allows students to view each slide from the 'chapter' menu in iTunes. However, students who sync their podcasts to an ipod or iphone only hear sound because the artwork does not show up using the .m4a format.

Solution:

If you are using Profcast change the export file format to .mov instead of m4a. Students will lose the chapter feature(do they use it anyway), however every student will be able to see and hear your enhanced podcast because it will be a true video file format that can be seen and heard in iTunes or iPods. If you have saved your Profcast files you can open, click "share" and export as .mov.
