Hear2Cast: Podcast 3: Who is podcasting?

Students already use podcasts to review lectures, listen to audio materials and share their own reports, field notes and music compositions. It’s part of a trend in higher education toward delivering class materials that are more timely, customized and engaging.
Lynne O’Brien, director of Duke’s Center for Instructional Technology

Educators involved in eLearning are rediscovering the power of the spoken word by utilizing new technologies to communicate with students outside the traditional classroom. Podcasting is a new medium that enables you to easily incorporate on-demand audio recordings into your curriculum.

A great podcast, like an engaging web site, can increase class attendance by sparking student interest to lean more about the subject matter.
Michael Rappa, North Carolina State University

According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, more than 22 million American adults own iPods or MP3 players, and 29 percent of them have downloaded podcasts.

This is a societal change, a change in the way people relate and communicate with each other and that, dear professor, is very much about pedagogy!
