ResumoThe development and spread of second-generation internet technologies has led to a rapid increase in the number of lectures being recorded and podcast (audio cast) or vodcast (video cast) to students. This study discusses a podcast and vodcast trial delivered to Level 3 BSc Geography students at the University of Leeds during 2007/08 and 2008/09 to ascertain the value of the process for learning. The majority of students reported using podcasts and vodcasts whilst sat at computers either at home or at university. Students reported several perceived benefits from podcasts including their use as a revision aid and a tendency towards more reading of the literature. Students were fully supportive of the podcasting experience and suggested useful ideas for improvements for future podcasting initiatives.
