Using Podcasts and Vodcasts

Have you met someone who did not have the sufficient ability yet assumed they could accomplish a task simply because they possessed the right tool?

At one point in my life, I worked in the wedding video industry. Some people would reject the need for a videographer by saying, "My brother has a nice video camera. I will have him make my wedding video." Such myopia can occur when educators assume they can create effective learning experiences for students simply because they have access to technology. Podcasts and vodcasts are media-rich recordings and are being used increasingly for education (Jalali & Bialy, 2019). Without a clear understanding of how to design pedagogically sound instruction using podcasts, teachers risk creating learning experiences for students that are less effective. If you are interested in using podcasts in your teaching, you can learn some basics to help you make the experience beneficial for your students. For instance, people who want to produce effective podcast content for educational purposes should follow certain design and production tips. Tips include knowing one’s target audience, identifying whether audio or video formats are most useful, using an outline, and ensuring quality recording and publication qualities. You can learn how to effectively integrate podcasts into your teaching!
Happy podcasting!

I recently used Articulate Rise 360 to develop a short lesson introducing myself. The tool has many benefits as well as limitations. According to Giacumo et al. (2018), most novice developers of e-learning prefer to use rapid e-learning tools that are developed by professionals. This takes the guesswork out of the design process, assists with more professional development, and provides management support. One focus of online education is the integration of interactive content (Herman & Mustea, 2016). It is most important to design the online experience to encourage interaction between the student and the content. Interaction between the teacher and the student is another priority, followed by interaction between students. Accordingly, designers and educators should consider the constraints of the software and learning management system, the demands of m...
