Using the Moodle iPodcast Module

• Now go into a course you are a teacher or admin for and turn editing on.
• Add an Activity and Podcast should now be in the list. When you select it you should get the message "iPodcast settings have not been set for this Course. Set here before continuing"
• This is the first time per course setting for the podcast. It will load some default settings from the course.
• Check over and hit "Save Course Settings" . The header should now read "Updating iPodcast settings for Course {coursename}" .
• Select done to get back to the course outline.
• Now add a podcast activity again for whatever section you want.
• Update the name summary and notes to your preference and hit the save button. You should see a tabbed window with a few options.
  • View Podcast tab views it as a student would see the page.
  • Comments tab views the student comments on the podcast
  • Views tab shows who has viewed the media file and when.
  • Edit Podcast tab edits the Name, Summary, and notes of the podcast
  • iTunes Tags tab edits all the iTunes specific information
  • Attachment tab loads and selects the media file.
  • Visibility tab selects both the current or scheduled visibility for the podcast.
• By default the iTunes tags are set from the Course settings for the podcast. No Attachment and visibility is set to hidden.
• To select a media file hit the Attachment tag and select the Change... button then select Upload a file button.
• You should get another window with a Browse... button select it and an open window should appear. Find the media file and select it. Remember only "mp3,mov,m4v, and mp4" files are supported. After selecting the file click Upload this file you should have a directory listing with that file listed.
• Choose select from the action column and the line should go grey and the action will display "Currently Selected" .
• Choose Close this window button to take you back to the Podcast.
• The Attachment window will not update unless the browser is refreshed(on the list to fix).
• Now change the current visibility to "Podcast visible to students" click save and the podcast entry is ready.

 

Subscribing

• To subscribe to the podcast click on "Podcasts" under activities for the course. Its on the upper left side on my moodle. This should bring up a list of published podcasts, probably just one if you were following this from scratch. In the upper right corner should be a rss iPodcast button right click and copy shortcut or link. Now paste that shortcut into the iTunes subscribe to ipodcast window.
• If all is well you should have the podcast.
• The rss xml feed is built when the link is called so you don't have to wait for cron after adding a podcast activity.
