17. Music and Arts E-Learning
Advantages PODCASTING
• Learning by producing the podcast
• High motivation to make episodes individually and originally
• Learning by listening to other episodes
• Broadcasted and published periodically
• Learning with mobile devices
• Comments are supporting social learning within the group
18. Music and Arts E-Learning
Disadvantages PODCASTING
• Within LOUDBLOG we had to create each account manually (no LDAP
support)
• In the beginning it took too much time to record, mix and arrange
• Some of the students had to arrange and mix at home, recording and
mastering was done in the university audio studio
• Foreign students very often have problems with our language, so it was also
difficult for them to record their voice in our language

Advantages interactive scores
• space and time
• individual learning tempo
• motivation
• different and interactive trainings
(key, tempo, loops, recordings, …)
• less to do for the teacher
21. Music and Arts E-Learning
Disadvantages interactive scores
• depends on the hardware
• computers do not work at any time
(power, network, file structure, …)
• rights management
(for installing flash or shockwave player, …)
• time to prepare e-learning scenarios
22. Music and Arts E-Learning
Wordpress blogging
