Literacy professionals expect effective preparation in online courses, but teacher-educators struggle to include vast content during abbreviated semesters. To provide core literacy content using universally designed presentations, teacher-educators developed and tested the efficacy of content acquisition podcasts (CAPs). CAPs deliver critical information through strategically designed videos, made with Microsoft PowerPoint software. Studies reported moderate effect sizes, as literacy professionals significantly improved foundational knowledge, instructional skills, and strategy application. This chapter surveyed CAP research and described how one online course embedded CAPs, which resulted in participants' effectively developing and implementing literacy intervention plans. Recommendations for teacher-educators and researchers were presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
