Pod-casting is a way of publishing audio or video files on to the web. Pod-casts can be accessed from IPods, Phone's and computers via the Internet and you can follow Podcast via a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed. Pod-casting allows for flexible learning as students can download and either listen to or view in their own time. This includes while exercising or while sitting in front of a computer.
Campbell, G. Mentions that Pod-casting is flexible as it allows the person listening to the Podcast to have music playing in the background or the individual could be participating in another activity. On the flip-side of viewing Pod-casts, it can be very beneficial to produce a podcast. Skills required to produce a podcast include, script writing, interviewing, producing, IT skills and co-operative learning.
The use of Pod-casting during my degree has allowed me to have a flexible learning environment as I can listen to any missed lectures or if I miss information in a lecture I can review it at home through the University web site Moodle.
