Yesterday I spent an enjoyable hour talking with a group at Drexel University on Blogging and RSS in Business and Marketing. The talk was part of the e-learning lecture series hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences. Jean-Claude Bradley was kind enough to post the screencast and mp3. In attendance were representatives from Drexel.com, LeBow College of Business, the College of Education, as well as The Chubb Institute, among others.

Presenting the talk from a blog instead of PowerPoint made it easy to illustrate the features of a blog for the group. At the last minute, I switched to using Jean-Claude’s TabletPC so we could use his screencasting software; having the presentation online as a blog made this an easy switch. If I present this way again (and I think I will), I will take Karine Joly’s subsequent suggestion to have the current “slide” on the home page of the blog, then navigate to the next slide using the index, so that only one slide is visible at a time.

Drexel has some cool grassroots initiatives in podcasting and blogging, and I think we’re going to see a lot more from them soon.
