We also talk about technical issues, equipment setup, staffing and the future of podcasting at the University of Montana School of Law.

Very interesting stuff in this podcast. Montana is going to pre-subscribe their incoming students to the RSS feeds of podcasted classes next fall. I believe they are also starting a new laptop requirement in the fall which makes this possible. All student machines will also come pre-installed with Audacity and iTunes.

This is is our third interview with a law faculty podcaster who participated in the Legal Education Podcasting Project this past Spring 2006 semester.

Professor Scott Burnham recorded weekly summaries and recorded the classroom for this students. (Full disclosure, Professor Burnham is on the CALI Board of Directors).
