Join Cyprien Lomas and Nick Noakes to explore the vibrant and rapidlyevolving world of narrowcasting and the impact it can have onteaching and learning. They will explore several facets ofnarrowcasting and the new Web, including:
*       What is narrowcasting? Where did it come from and where is itgoing?
*       How might narrowcasting fit into a campus e-portfolio orcontent management system?
*       What are the implications of having increasingly media-rich(and resource-intensive) content on campus?
*       How can we filter and focus all of this new content?
