Some podcasts are now UP in our iTunes U area.

I just uploaded some mini-podcasts concerning concepts in Ch. 2 and Ch. 3:

  1. Roofer's nail: concerning Ex. 20 on p. 31.
  2. baseball PSM Ch. 2, 24: concerning a nice exercise in the problem solving manual (PSM).
  3. Trajectories and instanteneous velocities: an eleboration on the concept of vector in Ch. 2.
  4. Granny car, Ex. 16, p. 31: concerning the accelerations.
  5. Exercise 4, Ch. 3: concerning how to balance forces, a critical concept for this semester.
I will be placing more podcasts in iTunes U as we go through the semester.

There is a link on the Webcourses homepage that launches iTunes and moves you to our iTunes U area. When you are there, your iTunes will look like this:

Remember: these are visual podcasts. You must subscribe and download the artwork in order to see the visual content, and the visual content is EVERYTHING: diagrams, equations, calculations etc.

Note: you should also be able to launch iTunes from the "Online Course Tools" tab in your my.ucf.edu portal page.
