Podcasting and its use for teaching and learning

The Wikipedia article on podcasting and its use in learning highlights the benefits of education podcasts. The key benefit of educational podcasting is that it makes educational material available to people via their own entertainment devices such as iPods and MP3 players as well as via web pages and iTunes. You can listen to a podcast (audio) or view a vodcast (video). Educational podcasts make education mobile and ubiquitous through the use of RSS feeds. Podcasts are used in education as a form of audio blog and their use has expanded rapidly with some universities providing lectures via podcasts on iTunes.

    As a foreign language teacher I have found podcasts (in French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese) incredibly invaluable for my language students. It creates amazing variety and fun content as opposed to the normal boring and stilted content you find in language courses and books. Jean-Paul Setlak
