Audio podcasts on ICT

The wonderful ABC Radio National has a regular program on "new technologies, new approaches and new ways of thinking" (sounds like a great tag-line for a great university, don't you think? ;-) ). This last week while driving to the Tweed I heard a wonderful section of an interview about the strategic implementation of ICT with museums! They interviewed Seb Chan, the Head of Digital, Social & Emerging Technologies, Powerhouse Museum, Sydney. I found it fascinating. You can access previous podcasts related to the interview here .
If you want to know more about the program click on this link.
You can if you wish use a radio podcast like this as a popular source for your portfolio.
Happy listening!

How Google works

Looking at the Google phenomenon: This ABC Radio program was aired in 2006, but I found it does offer a very clear explanation of how Google works, how search engines function, and how web-builders can increase traffic to their websites. You'll understand so much more about how it all works if you listen to the podcast or read the transcript.
This link will bring you to the transcript. (You need to click on "show transcript")
I'll endeavour to make the podcast available to all students soon.

Huge thanks to the Australian Broadcasting Company, ABC Radio National, and Background Briefing for their excellent research.
