What is a podcast?
A podcast is a multimedia file distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term as originally coined by Ben Hammersley in an article in the Guardian on February 12, 2004, was meant as a portmanteau of "broadcasting" and "iPod". (“Podcast,” 2006)

“Podcasting draws upon the work of many pedagogical thinkers, these include; Vygotsky, Piaget, Papert,
Jonassen and many others.”

The Pedagogy
Stager agrees with Seymour Papert in that computers and computing offer profound opportunities to learn new things, old things in new ways and construct knowledge in ways that would be inaccessible without access to technology. Constructionism particularly applies to learning with digital technology. If you can use technology to make things you can make a lot more interesting things. And you can learn a lot more by making them. (Stager, 2005)
21
The Pedagogy
Boulos, Maramba and Wheeler write that the potential impact of ... podcast technologies on higher education ... is immense, and combined use of 'mind tools' that may yield the most powerful learning experiences. According to Jonassen et al. 'mindtools' act as cognitive reflection and amplification tools, aiding the construction of meaning, through the act of self-design of knowledge.
22
The Pedagogy
Papert says that knowledge is best constructed in a social context where the participants make something shareable. (Stager, 2005)
Using podcasting can take advantage of Vygotsky’s (1978) contention that there are strong links between cultural/social influences upon the learner and their cognitive development. (Lim, n.d.)
23
The Pedagogy
Vygotsky (1978) drew attention to the strong links between the culture and social influences upon the learner, and their relationship with the learner’s cognitive development. That is to say, given the fact that many students in schools today already have access to a portable music player, it would appear to make sense (at least from a motivational point-of-view) that the potential of using such players for goals which are more explicitly linked to the curriculum be at least explored. (Lim, n.d.)
24
Creating podcasts
As you become more familiar with the process of creating podcasts you will require more advanced recording and sound editing software. Audacity is an
excellent open source choice.

25
Student Created Podcasts
?think pair shareFrom what you have learned so far; In particular, the pedagogy of podcasting.
Think how students could create course related podcasts to construct knowledgePair up with someone next to youShare your idea of student created podcasts
You have 3 minutes to complete this activity

?What would the students create?

The Podagogy / Mobigogy
28
Mobigogy
Mobigogy is a new learning model that attempts to integrate pedagogy and andragogy into a personalized learning philosophy for the digital age. (Keough, 2006)
Mobigogy recognizes the networked individual as the central element of all learning methods. (Keough, 2006)
29
Podcasting today• Recordings of lectures for those students unable
to attend the lecture in person• Audio recordings of textbook content by chapter
allowing students to "read" or review texts while walking or driving to class (can be significant aid for auditory learners)
• Downloadable libraries of high resolution heart and respiratory sounds for medical students
• Recordings of expert conversations• Reading of poetry with author critique• Language tutorials• Walking tours of cities, art galleries, etc…
30
!Group Activity
• In groups of three
• Brainstorm – Think 3 episode podcast– Stuck? Ask for help
• Storyboard, outline, script(?) an episode– Provides structure and routine– Helps avoids umms and ahhs
• You have 10 minutes
31
Creating Podcasts
Step 1: Select appropriate content
Step 2: Determine your instructional goal
Step 3: Design your content
Step 4: Produce your podcast
Step 5: Incorporate the podcast into your course
