  1. Such a clever idea to do a podcast per member of the group. I enjoyed hearing the questions posed and each members response as they review what has been covered during the semester. I also enjoyed learning about each member of the group at the beginning of the podcast. The lessons throughout the semester have really made an impact and it shows!

  2. I really enjoyed listening to your podcast. What a fun way of putting together everything we have learned over the course of the semester. The podcast was really well done. I liked how you each covered a specific area or assignment from the semester and built out the history of adult education, what adult education is, along with the organizations and the contributors of adult education.

    In particular Maureen's podcast got me thinking about something I had not really considered up until this point. She spoke about community education being non-formal education. I am wondering now if we should consider non-formal opportunites differently to help decrease the size of adult education in general. We have talked relentlessly about the huge umbrella of AE and I now am thinking that maybe the community education is a way to break that into a smaller more managable area of study. Then I started thinking about how some community education is structured for families and I wonder how much thought is put into creating the programming with dimensions to appeal both to child and adult learners. Just some intersted thoughts I had as I listened.

    Again, I love the podcast idea and you all did a wonderful job.

  3. Group 2,

    Well done! Like the others who have posted, I enjoyed the uniqueness of using podcasts. Bob, you did a great job of facilitating the questions and answers. It felt like a real podcast. What I feel you guys did that is most relevant to the assignment is that you demonstrated what adult education looks like on a personal level. Each podcast discussed how adult education has been used and tied into the unique lives of the member being interviewed. In reality, that's exactly what adult education looks like. You were able to showcase the broad scope that we have been discussing all semester and that it is tailored to suit individual needs. Obviously you all integrated other concepts that are important to adult education and relayed pertinent information to the public listener.

    If I could offer any criticism at all, it might be the length of all three podcasts combined. Some may just listen to one or two due to time constraints....but I am just being petty. I think you all did a phenomenal job with this!

    1. Thanks for the input Shane. The length of the podcasts is something we went back and forth on. Some 'real' podcasts are less than 10 minutes, while others are close to an hour. We want to make sure we covered all the info (and there is a lot, as you know!) but keep them under 20 minutes, at least.

      Thanks for listening and commenting.

  4. Group 2,
    I think the idea of utilizing the podcast medium was a smart choice. I think this is becoming a more useful media tool for education in general, but specifically adult ed. Your podcasts were engaging and worth the listen. I think this serves as a great example of a new approach to the project. Great job!
