There are lots of varying opinions on podcasting.Many people think that simply posting up an audio of hour long lecture is it necessarily pedagogically enhancing. I believe that many lectures aren’t pedagogically enhancing either. My argument if it is important enough to say once it is important enough to listen back too.

There seems to be a fear from lectures that it will leave them redundant. Certainly although I haven’t started recording yet it is a daunting task posting up your class for the scrutiny of world listeners.

To quote Charles Martin” podcasting requires teachers and students to think more deeply about our content, look for new connections when using media, and be more reflective about the ways we teach and assess students.”
