Podcasting in education
I have been thinking a lot of the potential of the medium. I really think there is something here for education!
In my opinion Podcasting is a great tool:
- for distance learning
- to facilitate self-paced learning
- for remediation of slower learners
- to allow faculty to offer advanced and or highly motivated learners extra content
- for helping students with reading and/or other learning disabilities
- for multi-lingual education
- to provide the ability for educators to feature guest speakers from remote locations
- to allow guest speakers the ability to present once to many sections and classes
- to allow educators to escape the tedium of lecturing
- to offer a richer learning environment
I have registered edupodder.com and have the space available for use. I plan to do some research on the subject and would like to start my own feed.

Here's another one... it allows you to reach students not able to connect to the internet in 2/3rds world countries, amplifying internet linked education to a wider scope of people. Add in community radio and wow!
(p.s. Looking forward to when you activate the feeds.)
Yes, me too!
Done, yea!
Really great to see you doing this Steve and am sure podcasting will take off - at least with the Millenials - so is worth thinking about how we can leverage this for learning. And also reaching people in the way Nancy suggests.
