This week we learnt about podcasting. One of the downsides to using the podcast over the internet was the need to download certain programs such as quicktime in order for the audio playback to work properly.
Podcasts could be used in the university on a broad range of subjects. Remote students could access lectures via the podcast feature, the fact that it runs off RSS feeds means that they will always be up to date with the latest lecture without missing out. The library can also be used in the library through educational virtual tours. This would cut down on staff time greatly as the students can access these facilities at any time.
I was able to utilise the podcasting to keep abreast of cooking recipes from many different countries. I subscribed to numerous RSS feeds so that i will always have fresh recipes whenever i check my bloglines account.
Podcasting can also be used to read bedtime stories to children. I stumbled across a website that hosted a large range of childrens books in the podcast form. This may be a cheaper option than going to the library.
