Short description
-----------------
Podcasting is a way of publishing audio and video content on the web
as a series of episodes with a common theme. Moreover this is
supported by a so called "feed" making it possible for listeners to
subscribe to the series and get new episodes when they are
published. Podcasting in this activity is used as an alternative way
to present a research assignment (Middelton, 2009: 149).
For more activities using podcasting see Middelton, A. (2009) Beyond
podcasting: creative approaches to designing educational audio in
ALT-J Research in Learning Technology.
