Setting up a Podcast

1. Click on the Control Panel.
   
2. Click Manage Podcast under the Course Tools submenu.

Step 1: Podcast Information

Enter a name for your podcast and briefly describe it. This name and description will appear in subscribers' aggregators when they are viewing the feed.

Step 2: iTunes Metadata

Podcast LX allows instructors to specify iTunes-specific metadata for the course feed. This metadata will appear in the "Get Info" window for the feed in iTunes.

Step 3: Options

A podcast generally has an associated RSS feed that allows users to subscribe to the content via a podcatcher, an aggregator specifically for podcasts. Podcast LX™ allows instructors to make an RSS feed available for their course podcast. If the instructors chooses to make the feed available, an RSS link will be made available to course members for subscription.

If the instructor does not want to make course podcast content publicly available, the RSS feed can be disabled so that course members can only listen or view podcast content in the course.
