Principal Investigator Peter Fisher
PodCasts offer a new avenue for education that students can tap into at any time outside of the constraints of scheduled class time. Professor Fisher's project would produce a weekly program devoted to time management, organization, life skills, etc. oriented to those in an academic environment. More broadly, the project would explore ways of connecting one's larger life aims with the two hundred tasks one performs each day. The PodCast of twelve episodes would be aimed at students and scientists early in their careers with the additional goal of reaching those outside of MIT. Professor Fisher will make the equipment, software, and expertise will be made available to anyone wanting to start their own PodCast for the MIT Community.
