Podcasting

Podcasts are a great way to communicate between students and teachers. They can be used as lectures and put on the web, then when the student has subscribed to the podcast he or she can watch it when and where they want. Podcasts can be downloaded on to computers, iPods and other devices. This is how they are able to be watched in any location. They can be watched when ever because once you have subscribed to a podcast you don't have to watch it as soon as it is put on the web, you can store it and watch it in your own time. This is why Podcasting is a very useful Learning Resource (Oliver 1999) within e-learning.
