Podcast: a critical analysis



Plus:
  • Students can listen to podcasts whilst doing other things
  • Possible to develop a series of podcasts to engage students
  • Can be used with a range of different technologies
  • Can be embedded in webpages
Minus:
  • Does ot require complete attention - may not take in information
  • Requires a longer period of attention to convey information than simply reading at ones own pace
  • May contain a lot of "padding" (irrelevant side topics)

Interesting:
  • Mum: "Take those headphones out!".
  • Student: "I'm studying!"
