• OurMedia Personal Learning Center: a fantastic resource for media creators (including podcasters) with detailed explanations and guides. Of particular interest is the Audio Learning Center which has a lot of useful and practical guides to recording, creating and editing sound generally and podcasts in specific terms; also fantastic is the Open Media Directory which points of a huge range of freely reusable media (sound, music, video, etc.) which can be used in podcast creation, almost always royalty-free!

  (Describes how creating audio podcasts of book chapters can build an audience and help authors get picked up both by listeners and by publishers.)

Local Examples

• iPods @ ECU - Various projects with ECU students and academics creating and utilising media on iPods. Of particular interest (or inspiration) is their list of Current Projects. (Keep in mind that a number of the processes described involving putting podcasts online can be done at UWA via Lectopia.)
• iGeneration: Digital Communication and Participatory Culture - A Communication Studies honours course which ran in semester two, 2005, at UWA. Students created their own podcasts (podcast assessment details; example one; example two) and their podcasts were (and still are) hosted by Lectopia.
• Kate Rodgers, "Interactive Quizzes on iPods", Waxlyrical, 3 October 2006,

Other Examples

• Apple + iPods @ GCSU, Georgia College & State University; see especially their 'Course-Related iPod Projects' page for some interesting ideas on using iPods in teaching.

Useful Free Tools for Creating, Editing and Receiving Podcasts

• Juice Receiver - A free tool called a 'podcatcher' which simply means a piece of software which receives and downloads podcasts' this process can be automated, ie set Juice Receiver to check for new podcasts each morning at 5am and any new podcasts in your subscribed shows should be waiting, downloaded, by 6am. Juice Receiver works on Windows, Macs and on Linux. (However, the most common 'podcatcher' is Apple's iTunes which is free to use, but not open source. iTunes does not work on Linux and as of March 2007, does not yet work properly with the the newly-released Windows Vista).
• Audacity - A free audio editing tool which allows the recording of sound files from microphones or the editing and manipulations of existing sound files. Audacity can import most audio formats and can export in a range of formats, too, including mp3 and aac. Audacity works on both Windows and Mac. Audacity also has a very useful online manual with ideas about editing sound, not just how-to instructions.
• CamStudio - This is a free screencapture tool, which allows you to record the activity on a computer screen as a video file which can then be converted to an iPod-sized video. (There is also a larger commercial package called Camtasia for a recording and editing experience with more features. (For the latest updates on CamStudio, see the CamStudio Blog.)
• Super © - A simple programme which can convert between almost any video file formats. For example, if you've created a video as windows media file (.wmv, for example) or in flash (.swf) and you want this video to play on a video iPod, with two clicks of Super you can convert from one format to another. (Only runs on Windows PCs).

Examples of Podcasts That Could be Created by Students

• Museum and Gallery Tours -
• Pod Plays - For example, see 'The Rich and the Rural' which mixes a 1930s RKO-style radioplay with a soapie format.
• Alternative Critical Commentaries for TV and Movies on DVD - For example, see 'The Simpsons iGeneration Podcast' which is an alternative commentary for The Simpsons episode 'Cape Feare'.
