“…Podcasts created in the different studies were either student generated [1,10,11] or lecturer generated [6,12,16]. According to Alpay and Gulati [1] a student-led podcasting project provides an innovative communication format for student engagement and involvement in educational topics, debates and developments among students and staff.…”

“…Ng'ambi and Lombe [10] employed two case studies to develop an approach for using podcasts to enhance student learning. The study adopted an interpretive approach to investigate how students enrolled on a blended postgraduate programme in Educational Technology used podcasts for reflective learning.…”

“…earning tasks were designed such that students were required to listen to podcasts in order to complete the tasks while the second case was loosely coupled. Data was gathered from two main sources, namely face-to-face interviews with students and access logs generated by Vulaonline collaboration and learning environment [10].…”

The high mobile penetration levels and the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies that include Wikis, Blogs, Podcasts, Screen cast, and Google Tools etc provide academic institutions with an opportunity to address some of the challenges they are facing in the provision of quality education given the ever increasing enrolment numbers. It is also important to note that the use of m-learning tools, if correctly conceptualized and built, constitutes an efficient complementary tool to the traditional teaching methods. The study reviewed journal articles with a view to examining the methods used in the investigating the adoption of podcasting in Higher Education. It was found that most studies were in the form of Action Research which either took an interpretive or positivist approach with the choice being guided by the objectives of the study. The review also points out to the need for orientation on use of podcasting at initial stages of its implementation.

“…Alternatively, Pegrum, Bartle, and Longnecker (2015) view podcasting from the position of deep learning, especially where students are involved in 'creative podcasting' or 'learner-generated' podcasting (Dale and Povey 2009;Lee, McLoughlin, and Chan 2007;Middleton 2013).…”

Reconsidering the role of recorded audio as a rich, flexible and engaging learning space

Audio needs to be recognised as an integral medium capable of extending education's formal and informal, virtual and physical learning spaces. This paper reconsiders the value of educational podcasting through a review of literature and a module case study. It argues that a pedagogical understanding is needed and challenges technology-centred or teacher-centred understandings of podcasting. It considers the diverse methods being used that enhance and redefine podcasting as a medium for student-centred active learning. The case study shows how audio created a rich learning space by meaningfully connecting tutors, students and those beyond the existing formal study space. The approaches used can be categorised as new types of learning activity, extended connected activity, relocated activity, and recorded 'captured' activity which promote learner replay and re-engagement. The paper concludes that the educational use of the recorded voice needs to be reconsidered and reconceptualised so that audio is valued as a manageable, immediate, flexible, potent and engaging medium.

“…From this point of view, it could indeed be argued that this form of assessment might have a broader relevance beyond distance learning institutions (Armstrong et al, 2009;Kemp et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2008;Pegrum et al, 2015).…”

This case study critically evaluates benefits and challenges of a form of assessment included in a final year undergraduate Religious Studies Open University module, which combines a written essay task with a digital audio recording of a short oral presentation. Based on the analysis of student and tutor feedback and sample assignments, this study critically examines how teaching and learning practices linked to this novel form of assessment have been iteratively developed in light of the project findings over a period of two years. It concludes that while this form of assessment poses a number of challenges, it can create valuable opportunities for the development of transferable 21 st century graduate employability skills as well as deep, effective learning experiences, particularly -though not exclusively-in distance learning settings.
