“…Many studies on podcasts show how the use of technology in teaching enhances the learning process and it outcomes (Gnaur and Huttel, 2016). In addition, podcasts are technological tools with high potential for strengthening the concept of lifelong learning, an essential goal in higher education that encourages the development of an independent, motivated and initiative learner capable of planning and managing his continuous learning over time (Celaya et al, 2019). Furthermore, podcast technology contributes to learning with tools compatible with the 21st century, thereby improving the digital skills required of higher education graduates (Johnson et al, 2015).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to inspect the perceptions of MBA students regarding learning through podcasts. The author's goals are to reveal the students' attitudes toward the use of podcasts as a key learning tool in a graduate academic course, to examine the learning efficacy in this mode of learning, to inspect students' opinions regarding flexibility in learning with podcasts and to examine whether there is a different reference to podcasts as a mid-term assignment vs podcasts as a substitute for lectures.Design/methodology/approachThis paper examines the learning attitudes and effectiveness of postgraduate students in business administration toward combining podcasts as an e-Learning tool. This paper also explores the flexibility of this kind of asynchronous learning. Two types of podcasts for two different pedagogical purposes were examined in the study, one as a team mid-term assignment and second as recorded lectures. The main results of this study provide significant evidence that previous experience in listening to podcasts on the Internet has a significant impact on learning effectiveness, student attitudes and learning satisfaction while using this technology. In fact, this study establishes that students that are technologically oriented and have prior experience listening to podcasts learn more in the course, have positive attitudes toward podcast technology as a learning tool, have high learning effectiveness and are satisfied with the flexibility of the asynchronous learning process.FindingsThe findings state that both in the mid-term assignment and in the course lessons as students listened to podcasts more frequently and gained experience listening to podcasts on the Internet, the students expressed more positive views toward learning using this technology, the students' learning effectiveness was higher and the students were more satisfied with the flexibility made possible by using this asynchronous technology tool of e-Learning. Moreover, the results of the study clearly indicate a positive correlation between listening to the podcast lessons in the course and the effectiveness of learning both in the mid-term assignment and in classes.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has some limitations. First, the findings are limited by the relatively small sample, with graduate students in an MBA program, in a course from the field of technological entrepreneurship. Furthermore, in this study, the students had partial freedom to choose the podcast for the students' mid-term assignment from a specific well-known program in the field of entrepreneurship and were not free to choose podcasts from any site available on the Internet. Although this process guided the students to use podcasts from a quality podcast program, the process also reduced the students' choice to some extent.Practical implicationsAcademic institutions must provide the appropriate technological infrastructure for the development, creation and recording of quality podcasts by lecturers for students, in addition to training lecturers to teach through podcasts as an integral part of e-Learning advanced tools. Furthermore, institutions must financially incentivize and educationally encourage lecturers to teach at least some of the content in the course using pre-prepared podcasts.Social implicationsThe author's first suggestion to lecturers that wish to use podcasts as learning resources is to familiarize themselves with the technology and resources available to introduce students to the basics of podcasting and to make the students aware of the podcast's benefits. Second, the study highly recommends to integrate podcasts into the teaching curriculum in academia as early as possible in the basic courses, before the students move on to advanced courses in undergraduate studies. In this way, students in advanced courses can make better use of this technology.Originality/valueAs far as the author knows, this is the first study that combined two types of podcasts used for two complementary pedagogical purposes in an academic course: the first, open and available online podcasts as part of a mid-term assignment and the second type of podcasts that are recorded audio lessons as a complete replacement for course lectures. Additionally, the study sharpens the understanding that students' previous experience with technology is of great importance to learning effectiveness, as well as positive opinions and high learning satisfaction.

“…Format media yang pertama yang dipelajari dalam pelatihan Microlearning ini adalah podcast. Podcast dijelaskan sebagai ruang komunikasi audio di mana terdapat pembicara dan pendengar pesan tersebut (Celaya, Ramírez-Montoya, Naval, & Arbués, 2019). Podcast diproduksi dalam bentuk audio untuk menyampaikan pesan tertentu kepada pendengarnya yang disebarkan melalui saluran siaran seperti anchor, spotify, overcast, dan sebagainya.…”

“…Com efeito, a utilização de ferramentas pedagógicas digitais propicia múltiplas interações em várias áreas de atuação da enfermagem bem como outras perspetivas de transmissão de conhecimentos não exequíveis pelos métodos tradicionais. São vários os autores que defendem a necessidade de incluir experiências educomunicativas na aprendizagem dos estudantes, através da integração de ferramentas digitais, para não correr o risco de ficar obsoleto (Celaya et al, 2019;Neves & Bellini,2022). Salientam ainda que é nesta era digital que se estão a desenvolver os estudantes que hoje ensinamos, e a escola tem a responsabilidade de facilitar um caminho autónomo e de pensamento crítico, através de ferramentas que consigam ir ao encontro das suas necessidades e melhorar as suas competências através de estratégias que facilitem a aprendizagem centrada no estudante (Neves & Bellini, 2022).…”

Hoje, os estudantes de enfermagem estão mais acérrimos do mundo digital e necessitam de ferramentas que os cativem para o desenvolvimento de competências, tanto na academia, como na prática clínica. A inclusão de um podcast pode ser uma nova perspetiva para a potencialização do processo ensino-aprendizagem. O objetivo deste artigo é mapear as evidências sobre a utilização de um podcast como ferramenta pedagógica no curso de licenciatura em enfermagem. Esta revisão, sob o ponto de vista metodológico, seguiu o Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping reviews e está registada no Open Science Framework. Doze estudos foram incluídos nesta revisão, tendo em conta o título, resumo, texto completo e critérios de inclusão. Os resultados mostram que o podcast é considerado uma ferramenta facilitadora do ensino e aprendizagem na área da saúde, pela possibilidade ilimitada de reprodutibilidade, facilmenteacedida a partir de um telemóvel em qualquer sítio ou hora. E porque permite ser utilizado tanto pelos discentes como pelos docentes, é uma ferramenta benéfica, facilitadora e dinamizadora como material de apoio, com possibilidade de ser utilizada em diversos conteúdos no curso de licenciatura em enfermagem.
