Podcasts are a creative and fun way to engage with important concepts and course-based knowledge. They offer a different approach to foster and demonstrate learning and can engage students who may otherwise have a low level of interest. In this workshop, we will show you how to develop an assignment where your students create a podcast. We will cover the equipment and software needed (spoiler alert: it’s free and easy), podcast formats, how to guide your students through the steps, and how to publish or share the results.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this workshop, learners will be able to:
Describe the potential benefits and limitations of a podcasting assignment for students.
Explain the hardware and software requirements for a podcasting assignment, along with common podcast formats.
Outline the steps for developing a podcasting assignment for students.
