Podcasting
Pod (iPod) + broadcast = Podcast
Differs from streaming audio
Automatically delivered to player –don't have to click on a link to download
Listen when you want – not when a program is scheduled

How Does Podcasting Work?

iPod not needed

Why is podcasting appealing for learning and teaching?
Appeals to the digital natives
Easy and low cost to create and distribute
Caters to different learning styles

Advantages
Students
Review lectures before exams
Listen in on classes they've missed
Replay at own convenience
Non-native speakers replay to increase comprehension
Instructors
Listen to own lectures to improve presentations

Learning & Teaching Applications
Interviews with experts
Oral history projects
Quotes from recorded speeches
Answers to posted questions
Guest speakers / lecture series
Student submissions /portfolios / placement logs

Issues to be aware of…
Not all students have iPods (about 60% do)
20% of podcasts actually downloaded onto portable media players
Will students still come to lectures?
Public access to audio files is necessary (no access control)
Cannot search or scan podcast content
Podcasts can lend themselves to passive, prescriptive teaching
