What is Podcasting in Education?

• Podcasting is the ability to create or listen to audio or video content either live or downloaded for later use. A podcast is similar to a radio show in that each show consists of a series of individual episodes you can listen to on your computer or on a digital audio player like an iPod.

Three Basic Types of Podcasts

• Audio – Podcasts which consist solely of audio recordings

• Enhanced – Podcasts which are multimedia formats combining audio recordings with images

• Video – Podcasts (or vodcasts) which consist of video recordings
