Abstract

Podcasts can be an effective tool to complement class sessions by delivering original multimedia content to computers and mobile devices. A well-designed podcast assignment can improve understanding, retention, and lab preparedness. This session will take a hands-on approach as you discuss the possibilities and create your own podcast. We’ll start by showcasing exemplary models of the three primary podcast formats (audio only, audio and images, and video) and reviewing the podcasting experiences of biology faculty.
