Podcast: a new way to learn

The rise of digital media has ushered in podcasting as a pivotal educational tool, aligning perfectly with students' digital and audio-centric lifestyles. Here are key ways podcasts are transforming education:

• Portability of Education: Podcasts bring learning resources to students' fingertips, enabling education on the go, anytime, anywhere.

• Attracting Attention: Unlike other mediums, podcasts can hold listeners' attention for extended periods, with popular episodes running for hours, indicating their potential to deeply engage audiences.

• Active Learning: Podcasts encourage the creation of student-generated content, fostering active engagement and control over their learning experiences.

• Developing Entrepreneurial Skills: By producing their own podcasts, students not only revisit and understand complex materials at their pace but also cultivate entrepreneurial skills, turning ideas into action as outlined by the ENTRECOMP framework.

Through these innovative approaches, podcasting not only meets students "where they live" - in the digital world - but also enhances learning, engagement, and skill development in ways traditional methods cannot.
