The focus of this article was on podcasting and adult education. It is very useful because it contains the simple basics on how to create a podcast in addition to listing the pros and cons, expenses, useful sites, and what to watch out for. This article is meant for educators teaching adults. The article sites 4 different studies addressing technology and adult learning. I think this is a reliable article, although as fast as technology changes it will be outdated in a few years. There will be better ways to create and distribute podcasts. The author is Assistant Vice-Principal for Finance at Kennesaw State University. He has a Masters in Adult Education and has authored over 52 publications. The author concludes that as part of an overarching coordinated technology strategy, podcasting should be integrated into adult education programs because of its great number of advantages including cost-effectiveness, flexibility and classroom enrichment. I found this article very informative and interesting. I am going to try the free download provided to create a podcast.
