The ITS Coffee Break is an occasional podcast about information technology, both at Lafayette College and in the larger world. It’s hosted by Courtney Bentley, Director, Instructional Technology, and Ken Newquist, Director, Web Applications Development

They discuss current technological happenings on campus, from Lafayette’s open source courseware tool Moodle to WordPress to GIS as well as the latest news about workshops, help documentation, and ITS events.

They also talk about technology trends happening in higher education, across the nation, and around the world, including topics such as blogging, Twitter, podcasting, open source, new web applications and much more.

The podcast has been produced since 2005. It’s available via RSS as well as direct download from the podcast’s home page.
