An introduction first – with the three headings provided Then onto the rest. Note that there is a paper with much more information with references available to read as well in greater detail.
Note: Enhanced podcast with other material such as text/ppt slides Vodcasts are with video.
It might be safe to say that almost all are familiar with downloading material and/or uploading material to the web or personal devices. A very easy learning curve at any rate.
Assuming you already have the hardware – a computer - it is relatively inexpensive. A microphone that can run $50 (or may be built into your computer) There may be time constraints to producing fine podcasts. This will be up to the instructor/student
There is also EPN (education podcast network) And education podcasts.com
Note: Edison research also shows that 86% of the general population own a media device. SO it may, in fact be larger now.
For my purposes I looked specifically at instructor generated content. For the purposes of our department – that is where we would begin. The most common use intuitively was the most common use studied – instructor podcasts of lectures and of review
Students with the Duke iPod initiative favoured pre-loaded material Students downloaded material mostly just before tests and exams instead of weekly Not everyone will be satisfied all the time with the quality, speed, duration, etc. Visuals were important – enhanced podcasts would be most useful
