"Few other technological developments have
the same potential for transforming teaching and
learning as podcasts … This step by step guide can help
the fledgling podcaster take the first few steps to
using podcasts and can encourage those already dabbling
to improve their practices by understanding underlying
principles … I can only urge you to give it a
go."
Dr Stephen Gomez, National Teaching Fellow
and Principal Lecturer, University of the West of
England, UK
"With podcasting now really taking
flight, this highly practical book is just what teaching
practitioners need. It is refreshingly accessible in its
use of language, making it suitable for those of us that
don't know our vodcasting from our
podcasting."
Dr Gwen van der Velden, Director of
Learning and Teaching Enhancement, University of Bath,
UK
"Podcasting is now at a tipping point and ready
to provide universal 24/7 access to learning. This book
provides the background and an invaluable "how to" guide
… It deserves to be in every library and faculty
office."
Dr Bill Ashraf, Director of Technology
Enhanced Learning, University of Sussex, UK
"Given
the dominance of text-based formats, this timely book
demonstrates that media-diversification is a
MUST.."
Dr Thomas Hülsmann, Program Director of
the Master of Distance Education (MDE), Carl von
Ossietzky University Oldenburg,
Germany
"'Podcasting made easy' - does that sound
like a contradiction in terms? Well now you don't have
to struggle with the technicalities because this book
really does describe how easy it is to create and
utilize podcasting in teaching … I thoroughly recommend
it…"
TingTing Zeng, Learning Technologist,
Imperial College, UK
"While the book is a mine of
information, both pedagogical and practical, it is the
hands-on aspect that captured my heart. Clearly written
by experts, the process of creating podcasts is
described in an easy-to-understand, practical way that
is accessible to novice and experienced podcast author
alike … If you've been toying with the idea of podcasts,
this is for you. If you've tried the basics and want to
go the next step, this is for you. How to create
Podcasts for Education will not merely be on your
bookshelf; I predict that it will be
well-thumbed!"
Ruth Brown, Academic Developer,
Learning and Teaching Enhancement Unit, London South
Bank University, UK
