Using the IU Podcast Portal, how do I add an episode to an existing podcast?
Note: To host or manage your podcasts using the Indiana University Podcast Portal, you must first request an account; see How do I request an account on the IU Podcast Portal?
To add an episode to an existing podcast using the Indiana University podcast portal:
- Access the IU Podcast Portal at: http://podcast.iu.edu/
- At the top right, click
Author Sign-In, and log in using your Network ID username and passphrase.
- Click to select the provider you were assigned when you created
your account (e.g.,
UITS).
- At the bottom of your "Podcast Maintenance" page, under
"Podcasts", find the podcast title to which you want to add an
episode, and click
Episodes.
- On the "Episode Maintenance" page, click
Browseto locate the episode on your computer. Click the filename, and then clickOKto select it for upload. Then clickUpload.
- When the upload is complete, enter episode information into the
"Title", "Author", "Link", "Length", and "Description" fields. This
information (i.e., metadata) is displayed to users when
they download the episode to their podcatchers.
- When you're finished, click
Save Episode.
To verify that the episode has uploaded properly, return to your "Podcast Maintenance" page, and locate your podcast. You should see your new episode listed at the bottom of the podcast's page. Those who subscribe to your podcast will receive the new episode when their podcatchers check for new episodes, or when they manually refresh their feeds, whichever is sooner.
Note: For policy information on podcast content at Indiana University, refer to the University Information Policy Office (UIPO) University-wide IT Policy page. In particular, see Appropriate Use of Information Technology Resources.
