Pilot Study Results
   Students strongly favored classes
   using podcasting for the ability to
   review materials repeatedly and
   whenever they wanted
Podcasting
Pilot Study Results (Continued)
Students preferred the following:
    Taking classes that offer
    combination classes that used
    face- to -face classroom
    experience and podcasting
    Taking a class offering
    podcasting, and indicated they
    would be more likely to use an
    iPod or MP3 if it were available
Podcasting
Conclusions from the Pilot Study
   Students at USM are interested and
   would like to have podcasting
   implemented into their classes
   The data should be used to design
   and develop instructional podcasts
   that will help instructors and
   students in the learning process,
   foster engagement and reflection,
   and to enhance overall user
   experience for students in their
   learning environment
Podcasting
Conclusions from the Pilot Study
(Continued)
   The study provided data that
   supported faculty involvement in
   participation in a podcasting
   initiative to improve student’s
   learning opportunities through the
   use of innovative technologies
Podcasting
Lessons Learned
  Know your audience.
  Focus on your content - Garbage in,
  Garbage Out…
  Invest in a good microphone for your
  podcast.
  Have notes and an outline to keep on
  the topic.
Podcasting

Podcasting 101
  Edit your podcast appropriately for
  content, quality, and length.
  Keep your podcast short and file size
  small - use a lower rate of bits per
  second (32 kpbs, 16 KHz, Mono) and
  still sound good to listener.
Podcasting
Podcasting 101 (Continued)
A “talking head” is distracting. Do not
include video if the video does not
enhance the content.
Deliver valuable, informative, engaging
content to students that they cannot get
from any other sources.
Provide notes for students to review
content of the episode before and while
they listen to the podcast.
Podcasting
Podcasting Questions for
Thought…
Will students still come to face-to-face
lectures?
What about public access to audio files
What about copyright issues?
Is it difficult to search or scan podcast
content?
Do podcasts lend themselves to passive
and prescriptive teaching?
What about issues concerning
bandwidth?
Podcasting
Podcasting Issues
  Podcasts are not interactive.
  Podcasts have limited usefulness for
  the hearing impaired.

                Questions?

  • 38. Podcasting Lessons Learned Know your audience. Focus on your content - Garbage in, Garbage Out… Invest in a good microphone for your podcast. Have notes and an outline to keep on the topic.
  • 39. Podcasting Podcasting 101 Edit your podcast appropriately for content, quality, and length. Keep your podcast short and file size small - use a lower rate of bits per second (32 kpbs, 16 KHz, Mono) and still sound good to listener.
  • 40. Podcasting Podcasting 101 (Continued) A “talking head” is distracting. Do not include video if the video does not enhance the content. Deliver valuable, informative, engaging content to students that they cannot get from any other sources. Provide notes for students to review content of the episode before and while they listen to the podcast.
  • 41. Podcasting Podcasting Questions for Thought… Will students still come to face-to-face lectures? What about public access to audio files What about copyright issues? Is it difficult to search or scan podcast content? Do podcasts lend themselves to passive and prescriptive teaching? What about issues concerning bandwidth?
  • 42. Podcasting Podcasting Issues Podcasts are not interactive. Podcasts have limited usefulness for the hearing impaired.
  • 43. Podcasting Questions? Comments… Thank You for Attending Our Session! This presentation is available on the Web at: www.slideshare.net/scyuen/
