That's a darn good idea. I've never thought about it. There is a way for me to publish, and the post to a server, a stand-along (non-streaming) java file you could play while offline. I don't know how much call there is for this, but if you want to tell me which sessions you'd like to have this for, I'll make sure you can get them.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks so much for responding.

I am a real fan of the elluminate sessions and have been since I was working on my M.Ed. But, the problem is that I spend most of my time now at work and on vacation in the developing world where connectivity is very poor except for mobile networks. Thus, the time I have with broadband needs to be used for downloading as much as possible to see me through the months without it.

I'm afraid I have quite a shopping list of sessions I'd like to have for offline listening/viewing. I've given a partial list here so any from this list would be great. Maybe we can have a poll in Twitter about having this option ?

OK, I have an idea. Elluminate has a program that will created an "unplugged" version of the recordings you want. It's called Publish! You can get a free 30-day trial at http://www.elluminate.com/trial/request-publish-trial-key.go. You should be able to convert as many of these as you like in that time. Then I'll be thinking about how to do this more regularly so by the time you are done with them we can have another solution!

Hows that? :)

Trying this now for some of the Global Education Conference sessions. I want to make mp3s for my commute. Did I miss an RSS feed where they all ready exist or does anyone want to split up the sessions to get this done more quickly?

Steve - do we have permission to convert and share?

Thanks,
Clint

They are public so go for it! :)

If you're using Publish to convert them, you have to get the links for each session. A quick list of all the session recordings is at http://www.globaleducationconference.com/recordings.html, but you do have to first click on each link to get to the recording "table" for that session.

Cheers,

Steve
