Podcasting has grown rapidly since being introduced in 2004. It allows audio files to be distributed over the internet for users to access on demand. Duke University distributed iPods to first year students in 2004 and found benefits like convenience, location-independent access to materials, and enhanced student engagement. However, they also encountered challenges integrating the technology and limitations of the devices. Podcasting has potential to make learning more accessible and is a useful supplement for distance learning.
