PODCAST

  On the cutting edge of current technologies are portable media, where users can download information and take it with them to use it anytime, anywhere. Some of the newest ways of sharing portable information using the Internet are podcasting and vodcasting.  Podcasts are a distribution of audio files such as radio programs or music videos, over the web.  A derivative of the term (and idea) of podcast is “vodcast,” also commonly referred to as a video podcast.  A vodcast functions in much the same way as a podcast, except that instead of users downloading only audio files, they also download corresponding video files to their portable media players.  While one might think that podcasting and vodcasting have the ability to revolutionize education and training, these advances are not stand-alone panaceas.  However they do offer an incredible educational advantage in that their multimedia aspects attend to a variety of learning needs.
