The workshop will be of interest to HE staff who would like to acquaint themselves with audio file creation and who are embarking on designing instructional audio material for use online and in VLEs. The workshop will introduce participants to the basic software required to make a pedagogical audio file. In addition to hands on experience, the seminar type sessions will involve input based on the 6 Ps Portsmouth model and discussion relating to the implications for the teacher of moving to an online/blended learning environment. The nature and role of scripts and implications of adding graphics, text and video will also be addressed. Participants should bring their memory sticks to save and take away work produced.

The Workshop is based around a 6 Ps model of Podcast development. In the early session participants make a group podcast to raise awareness of the issues involved and overcome technical phobias. The two presentation sessions outline the model with reference to other approaches and experiences of podcasting. A further hands-on session is intended to deepen participants’ understanding both of the technology and the model. The final session is intended to bring all the issues of the day to a close.

This event is organised under the Subject Centre's Workshops to go scheme.
