Undaunted by the fact that we all have much more important things to do than hang out in the pedagogic blogosphere all day, I've set up a blog to accompany my PedR project on podcasting and screencasting. I'll post outcomes, thoughts etc. as and when. It's called - excitingly - 'podcasting and screencasting at BSU'.
Now, why didn't I take a job in marketing....?

Embedding media in Teams LX
Has anyone else had problems trying to embed YouTube clips into Teams LX wiki pages? I've noticed a couple of problems:
1: The box that appears when I click 'Insert/edit embedded media' is sized so that the 'insert' button isn't actually visible! It took me a while to realise I had to resize the dialogue box in order to find it. That may be down to my screen settings, but I suspect it will flummox quite a few students.
2: More seriously, the editor doesn't seem able to open YouTube embed addresses. It produces a blank box and then prompts me to download a plugin, which it then says doesn't exist. I have it set to use Flash a the media player, so I can't work out a solution.
Also, the Teams LX help page seems to refer to a previous release (i.e. without an 'embed media' function). The 'knowledge base' on the Learning Objects website isn't any more useful, I fear!
