TechTalks Archive

Campus Technology is pleased to host the TechTalks Archive, a series of Web casts that were produced by the Corporation for Research and Educational Networking (CREN) from 1997 through 2002. CREN was the non-profit higher education member organization that founded BITNET (the “Because It’s Time”network) in 1981 and provided IT Knowledge Services and Certificate Authority services to support research and educational institutions.

The TechTalks represent CREN’s pioneering spirit, as they were among the earliest audio Web casts covering technology in education. CREN’s executive director Judith V. Boettcher, Ph.D., and Princeton University’s IT manager Howard Strauss hosted the TechTalks, featuring audio interviews with experts on a rich variety of IT topics from networking, to security, to course management systems.

Upon closing in 2003, CREN entrusted Campus Technology with the TechTalks Archive, which will be maintained on the Campus Technology Web site for years to come as a great resource for the education community. Enjoy these archives and watch for updates to their companion series, Syllabus Radio.

You can listen to the archived events (and view supplementary materials) or read the transcripts.

Note: The TechTalks audio events require an MP3 player. You can download Microsoft Windows Media Player free-of-charge (Macintosh or Windows versions available).
