Abstract

Podcasting allows audio content from user selected feeds (channels) to be automatically downloaded to one's computer as it becomes available, then later transferred to a portable player for consumption at the user's leisure, thereby creating opportunities for mobile learning. There has been significant recent uptake of MP3 players and podcasting, both in mainstream society and in higher education. This paper describes how the Charles Sturt University Flexible Publishing System is used to provide easy-to-use podcasting functionality that is seamlessly integrated with the university's in-house learning management system. Feedback from students suggests that they are receptive to the technology and its use in enhancing learning, although there may still be barriers to realising its full potential. The researchers' future plans are also discussed.
