Apple did a great job and lettering of the word "Podcast" and "podcasting." In a sense, these terms are, as when we say "Kleenex" instead of "fabric" or "Xerox / Xeroxing" instead of "making copies on a photocopier." A podcast is really just a type of digital media file, the radio plays in a browser or on a portable device.
But podcasting has gone high-profile! What do you think sounds better, if you look at an e-learning conference, surrounded by otherLearning and training professionals?
"Why John, we have to podcast using for some time in our on-line training, how about you?"
"Why John, we are using the sound a bit 'of time in our on-line training, how about you?"
As many know, the two most popular podcast MP3 and M4A files. If you are a fan of Apple, it will say file m4a Apple is really the only true podcast audio files, but when it comes to most podcasts, orPodcasting MP3 files that are based as well. It just so happens that the file is in mp3 format and most widely supported.
In recent months, some documents and scientific studies on the effectiveness of learning podcast called into question. While most students, businesses, educators and trainers with enthusiasm and application of this technology seems other factors can inhibit their effectiveness and application. For example, the average podcast (by nature)unilateral, because most students are only part of a lecture or listen to a briefing explanation was not an interactive activity in and of itself.
Creating a podcast requires decent equipment, additional software and know-how to record and edit audio files. Sun Podcast creation is a skill that can have a lot of e-learning developers. It also helps to have your own voice talent or (if you do video podcasting) access to professional models. Let's face it, your businessindustry experts to be a specialist in the field circuit of XYZ, but they can not very well in audio or video.
Additional factors that complicate the nature of the information in podcasts, implementation and deployment. For example:
Publication type (such as field personnel using mobile devices only).
Required level of security (eg secure feed).
Mode of delivery required (such as lectures on productBlackberry).
Most of those responsible for training projects that include such factors in money that is needed to translate is to develop their education.
But now, you say, "Okay Dave, but can podcast can be monitored with a learning management system (LMS) LMS A good job and manage all types of web content: Audio, video, podcasts, and synchronous or asynchronous e-learning, teacher training lead, Web conferencing helps, study or training in traditional line. SyberWorks LMStracks and manages all these types of Web content and more.
So where podcasting can put in your own e-learning environment? I see it as one of the many items in the toolbox that supports training in general learning objectives and podcasting. Can be used as a study aid assistance, or as a supporting performance in online courses and training programs can be integrated. Finally, podcasts developed and integrated with the same degree of care and prudenceWhich is used to prevent any other study materials-help, support or assessment of performance information to provide to students. Okay, that should fix, I really think, podcasts and podcasting have a place in e-learning and corporate training programs.
