Customer Reviews
Timely and Relevant
You don't need to be a "tech person" to benefit from this podcast. It's not a "boring", nuts and bolts analysis of how technology works. It is an on going discussion of global issues related to the use of technology by colleges and universities. Mr. Carlson asks some good questions and Mr. Arbogast is not afraid to speak his mind, but with the benefit of 20 years of experience as a teacher, manager and consultant on IT matters. I think it's a great podcast that will only improve as listeners interact with them more and more.
