10. definitions Technical Podcasting entails audio content that is delivered via an RSS feed presenting a downloadable or streaming file (often mp3). www.rsstoolchest.com/rss-glossary.html Functional The term podcast, like "radio", can mean both the content and the method of delivery. Podcasters' websites also may offer direct download of their files, but the subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time streaming. Usually, the podcast features one type of "show" with new episodes either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily, weekly, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting

20. Podcasting: A Teaching with Technology White Paper, June 4, 2007. "Podcasting does not contain any inherent value. It is only valuable inasmuch as it helps the instructor and students reach their educational goals, by facilitating thoughtful, engaging learning activities that are designed to work in support of those goals."
