College of Arts and Sciences' Podcast Features IT IQ Course

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 23, 2012) — The College of Arts and Sciences produces podcasts that demonstrate work being done by the faculty and students in the college. Each week, UKNow will highlight a podcast. This week focuses on the College of Arts and Sciences' IT IQ course.

Since the 2012 Winter Intercession, the college has offered a series of courses called "IT IQ," which engage students and introduce them to a variety of technologies at their disposal. The courses are generally six weeks long, are worth one credit hour and provide students with a technological framework for academics.

In this podcast, three key players in IT IQ, Derek Eggers, Carly Germann and Christian Ecker, discuss what students learn in a typical course, what sorts of technologies are taught and how they're applied in an academic setting.
