Summary
This hands-on workshop aims to equip participants with the skills to create their own podcasts using only iPad and the GarageBand app.
Abstract
Podcasting is a valuable tool for educators, especially in the post-pandemic era where online delivery methods have gained significance. Although podcasting in higher education is not new, its relevance and popularity have increased even more. Instructors can use podcasts to provide class information, develop listening skills, give student feedback, and deliver course content (Koppelman, 2013). Some argue that podcasting is preferable to reading or instructional videos due to its ease of use and the perception that students have longer attention spans for listening (Gray, 2017; podcast.co, 2020; Wen, 2015). However, the true value of podcasts lies in student-generated assignments that encourage creativity, evaluation, and analysis. Podcasting is included as an activity verb in the creativity category of Bloom's Digital Taxonomy, highlighting its potential for promoting high-order thinking skills (TeachThought, 2016; McNulty, 2017; Churches, 2012). Student-created podcasts have tremendous potential, such as conducting interviews with experts in their fields, regardless of geographical barriers, using networking software like FaceTime. In this hands-on workshop, participants will be guided through the process of audio production using GarageBand. They will learn how to create podcasts in both single-presenter and interview formats, incorporate theme music, and publish their final creations.
Learning Outcomes
- Apply the basic skills of audio production using iPad and GarageBand.
- Create podcasts in both single-presenter and interview formats.
