  1. Podcasting in Learning M. Ann Bock, PhD, RD, LD Professor

  2. So What’s a Podcast? • To put it simply, a Podcast is an audio file, a MP3, most likely, in talk show format, along with a way to subscribe to the show and have it automatically delivered to your iPod when you plug in to iTunes. The show isn’t live, so you can listen to it whenever you want. • Put another way, it is DIY Radio

  3. So Why Podcast? • Provides faculty with an opportunity to provide verbal explanation of written material in asynchronous environment • Allows faculty to post audio material that can be downloaded for listening via computer or MP3 device. • MP3 format provides high quality audio
