Podcasting: a teaching with technology white paper
Sharing audio and video files on the Web has been possible for most of the last decade and in the past two years has become a hot topic in educational technology. How does this new technology and its widespread adoption create new opportunities in education? Can it improve the quality of the educational experience and learning outcomes? This paper explores educational podcasting in three realms: the creation and distribution of lecture archives for review, the delivery of supplemental educational materials and content, and assignments requiring students to produce and submit their own podcasts. This report is intended to serve as an introduction to various educational uses for podcasting, and to summarise findings from the limited number of formal evaluations completed to date.
