from Learning Circuits by Eva Kaplan-Leiserson
Implications for learning
Listening to digital audio content won’t replace reading, listening to live presentations, or the multitude of other ways learners take in information, but it can augment those methods. The following are ways that podcasting can contribute to the learning process.
Assist auditory learners
Provide another channel for material review
Assist non-native speakers
Provide feedback to learners.
Enable instructors to review training or lectures.
Replace full classroom or online sessions when content simply requires delivery.
Provide supplementary content or be part of a blended solution.
