Here's my course description.
This course will explore emerging and converging distribution models for time-based digital content through hands-on projects. Areas of focus to include:

Here's my course description.
This course will explore emerging and converging distribution models for time-based digital content through hands-on projects. Areas of focus to include:
- mobile video
- mobile audio / podcasts
- blogging
- Flash-based handheld content
- convergence of the above
Among the core questions to be examined in the class:
- How do you develop compelling content for these different delivery platforms?
- How do you develop content that will translate across these platforms?
- What expectations does the user/audience have with these different types of narratives?
Projects will be supplemented by contemporary readings and content-creator guests.

mobile video like in video on a phone or mobile as in an enclosure in an RSS 2.0 feed
Like video on a phone (ie. "video to go"!)
My name is Abi and I love your video blog. I had a question. My school newspaper is starting a podcast and we were trying to figure out how to add a picture, artist, etc. But we're having trouble because many of the recommended programs and codes aren't working (we also use Macs). If you could help, this would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Abi,
If you're using Macs, it's probably easiest to do all of this with iTunes (once you've outputted your final audio for the podcast).
Select the file in iTunes and then do 'Get Info' -- you can select the Artwork tab and select any artwork for the podcast.
For what it's worth, I've set up a blog for the class I'm teaching right now at Northeastern. Might be of interest to you.
