A podcast is a digital
media file or collection
of files that is distributed
over the internet. The
files can then be played
back on a computer or
personal player, such as
an Ipod. The method by
which podcasts are
distributed is often
called podcasting.

Podcasting began to catch hold with the public in late 2004, though during the 1998–2001 dot-com era there were multiple "podcasts" done by major companies, such as Real Networks and ESPN.com
Many individuals and groups contributed to the emergence and popularity of podcasts.
There are three kinds of
podcasts.
• Audio podcasts also known as a
MP3 are the most common types of
podcasts. Enhanced podcasts can
have images to go along with the
audio.
•Enhanced podcasts are an AAC
file and are not supported by all
devices.
•Video podcasts are movies,
complete with sound. Video podcasts
can be in a variety of formats, but
MPEG-4 is the most popular.

Advantages Flexible Learning Opportunities: can listen & watch any time. Do not have to use computer for playback. Greatly increases access to classes, lectures, and talks by making
these available for download to people who cannot attend the session in person.
It is very valuable for students to use as a review or a study guide.
Disadvantages Large file size which requires broadband connection and it makes
it harder to download if the connection is slow. Users must make sure that all files are MP3 format and not just for
I pods. Transcripts must be made of files to ensure accessibility. (Timely
& Costly)
Remember, you don't need an iPod or handheld to be a part of podcasting–you can listen right from your web browser. Whatever personal device you may use to listen to podcasts, learning is certainly in hand!
