21. Podcasting
Pod (iPod) + broadcast = Podcast

download
Listen when you want – not when a
program is scheduled
24. 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
25. 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
26. 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
27. 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
