Information Technology Workbook

  Podcasts
A total of 80 podcasts are provided with the Information Technology Workbook. Each podcast is a carefully crafted 5 to 10 minute mini-lecture focused on one topic. Each podcast was created from a written script composed specifically for the purpose, and "read" into audio form by sophisticated software relying on a digitized, professionally-trained voice. The written script for each podcast is provided in the published workbook available from Stipes Publishing at www.stipes.com.

The quickest way to get all 80 of the podcasts is to download a single zipped file that contains all of them. Click here to download this 240 Mb file. (Caution: depending on your internet connection speed, this download could take you quite a while!) You can then unzip it and quickly copy all 80 of the .mp3 files to your sound player or computer.

For easy in-context listening, a link to each individual podcast is provided at the chapter buttons on this web site.
