Bradshaw and Rohumma (2013) note that a “podcast is a
digital audio file that can be distributed over the internet” (p.93). Podcasts
can come in many different forms such as interviews, discussions, video clips
or even information guides. Podcasts allow everyone and not just journalists to
broadcast their ideas out loud and share information in a creative way.
According to Richardson (2010) Podcast, just like blogs and wiki’s are now
widely used throughout higher education to promote creativity throughout
learning.
For this particular assignment we have been asked to work
in groups of no more than three people to produce a podcast to show how an out
of classroom environment can develop an innovative scientific idea. In order to
do this, we will be undertaking our research on educational trips such as St
Fagan’s. Once we have an idea that each person in the group agrees on we will
then do more specific research into the chosen topic in order to come up with
the podcast. In the specific assignment criteria it is stated that ‘The podcast
can be in the form of a film, documentary or interview or any other
contemporary idea.
