Podcasts are an excellent way of using different audio segments for learning and making them accessible to an audience. You can podcast all types of audio content such as music, lectures, news, or even talk shows. Your audience can easily access any podcast to their mobile device, leaving a opportunity for a wealth of audio segments and information to be easily accessed.
Using podcasts offer many advantages and can positively affect the learning process. Imagine if your Professor had a podcast that included all class lectures that you can go back and review. This would allow access to students to review lectures at any time and make it easier for students to review and learn the class material. This would be the equivalent to having all your class time and lectures "On Demand!" There are also possibilities of enhanced podcasts that allow you to include images that can be hyperlinked to websites that can add to the learning process. This will allow your audience to view information on the web while they are listening to the audio segments your podcast.
Doug Hoagland, from the Fresno Bee, Wrote an article on how professors at Fresno State are now using podcasts, and how Students are responding to these podcasts. Scott Sailor, Assistant professor of Kinesiology, supports the use of podcasts for learning, “Then I know they are getting the material multiple times. I’d like to reach the students right where they are,” says Sailor. Fresno State students that participated in courses containing podcasts were great advocates for the benefits of using podcasts in the classroom.
