    Digital photography has exploded over the last 20 years. With so many different formats and shooting settings, what is really best for when using your digital camera to capture memories or use it for instructional media purposes to enhance your instructional materials. Most of us know the term JPEG, that format that allows us to send photos via text, email or post on the internet. The advantage is a compressed image that is suitable for online use and has a smaller file size. However, in the digital photography world, there is another format that exists called RAW. This is that unprocessed image that comes straight from the digital camera and is used for higher quality uses. Think of this as a negative to your digital photograph.

    When podcasting first made its way to the iPod and phones many years ago, there was a great fear that podcasting could in fact be the death of radio. As we know that is far from the truth, but it does offer many ways of offering spoken word to reach all types of listeners. A podcast can be in the form of a storytelling experience, an interview, crime dramas, or a casual conversation between two sports fans discussing the weekend's football games to entertain you on a long commute. We'll discuss that today, we will talk about the 4 basic types of podcasts that tend to work well with listeners and these formats are now pretty much standard in the podcast industry. Podcasting continues to grow rapidly. Since 2016, the number of listeners has doubled. We believe that has something to do with more people owning smartphones, the creation of higher quality content worth listening to, as well as the wave of changes that swept around the world when COVID 19 sent people into isolation looking for digital content.

It's video, audio, software, or other content that is created, edited, stored, or accessed in digital form. We know in today's fast paced digital world as well with the rapid changes in higher education, the distribution of digital media will soon outpace the creation and distribution of standard print newspapers, magazines, and textbooks. The main benefit of digital media in education is that it can increase student engagement. In addition, it helps students work through difficult concepts with multiple resources. It can fuel creativity as well, especially if your student has a hand in the creation of the content.

    This podcast is a discussion about what it was like to teach during a pandemic, what did faculty learn, how did some adapt and five questions to ask yourself to improve or enhance how you teach students from this point on. As we know, for the last year in a half, students adapted to online learning and a remote style of communication with their instructor. So reflecting on my own experience, supporting a college and handfuls of faculty who never taught remotely was a significant challenge, that had both rewards and huge amounts of obstacles as well. Our CTLEE team here at PVCC adapted quickly and I believe successfully to keep things going and hopefully keep instruction solid with the support in Canvas and the growth of remote/virtual teaching tools such as Canvas Conferences and WebEx, Kahoot, etc. As well, we have two instructors who pre-recorder their insight to this subject as well. Dr. Caron Sada and Lynn McClelland both share their experiences with teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. We'll also hear a brief statement from Loretta Mondragon on what occurred behind the scenes at PVCC to support faculty, staff and students.
