This document summarizes a study of the increasing adoption of podcasting by UK universities between 2006-2007. The study identified four main characteristics of educational podcasting usage: teaching-driven, service-driven, marketing-driven, and technology-driven. Teaching-driven podcasting aims to augment teaching through tools like lecture summaries and additional materials. Service-driven podcasting provides information like library tours and department news. Marketing-driven podcasting recruits prospective students through content like university tours. Technology-driven podcasting shares best practices in using podcasting technologies.
