Signed up for an account on Podcast.com. This website seems much easier to navigate and understand than others like Podcast.net and Podcastalley.com. Hmmm... the website for Yahoo Podcasts seems to be inacessible, page not found or something. Well, essentially Podcasts are like radio talk shows. You can listen to these talks via the web using your computer or download them to your MP3 player, if you wish to. A useful learning tool which forces students to really concentrate if they want to be able to catch what's going on. Maybe a good tool to use when we want to do a short summary of key points of a lecture. Might be less suitable if the module is highly technical and makes frequent references to stuff like diagrams, drawings, calculations and the like.
Here's a link to a podcast that I have found on Podcast.com - news updates from The Economist- http://podcast.com/show/5356/ Have just added this feed to my Google reader.
Hopefully with all these accounts and what-not I have created, I don't get all the usernames and passwords all mixed up :)
