Strategic Soundbytes: Creating & Using Interview-based Podcasts to Bring the Real World into the Classroom

Keywords: podcast, elearning, asynchronous

Abstract: In this session, participants will learn how brief interview-based podcasts can be used to complement more-traditional course content, as well as to assess student learning of, and ability to apply, course concepts. Through a use case of a podcast I created for an undergraduate negotiations class, I will demonstrate the creation and use of, student reactions to, and benefits of using an interview-based podcast series. Participants will learn practices for designing such a podcast and creating a simple podcast using free, readily-available software. As well, participants will brainstorm ways they might use a podcast to illustrate their own course topics.
