WHAT IS PODCASTING? “Podcasting is delivering audio content to

iPods and other portable media players on demand, so that it can be listened to at the user's convenience. The main benefit of podcasting is that listeners can sync content to their media player and take it with them to listen whenever they want to. Because podcasts are typically saved in MP3 format, they can also be listened to on nearly any computer.”

More energy is being placed into

this “new” innovation

Early Adopters in society – Most early adopters were men who did not want to miss out on the sports score.Other early adopters individuals between the age of 20-30 who wanted to listen to music (again mostly men)

Click here for reference

InnovatorsDave Winer Adam CurryTony Fadell – helped in the creation of the Ipod (where podcasting got its name)

Early adopters in society

Early adopters in education

Early adopters in education were college professors who wanted students to hear class lecture on their own time as and effort to help students who were absent in class. These adopters still came after the early adopters of society.

PODCASTING Early adopters

Individuals who desired to listen to music while performing other tasks

Individuals who wanted to stay informed Instructors who used podcasts as another form of

lecture to assist students who were absent Duke University wanted to see benefits of

podcasting – gave all first year students an iPod Result – students did not depend on physical

location for instruction, convenient, promotes individualized instruction, increased student engagement

PODCASTING Laggards – definition of Laggards

Lagards – indivduals who fear downloading files onto their computer

Companies and schools fearful of liability issues from downloaded content

People who are not comfortable integrating technology into the classroom

DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS First two years very few users Audio content prompted legal issues Software and hardware were not always

compatible. Made podcasting “difficult” until the Ipod. Too many different ways to share media files

Initially recordings had poor quality Limited training on the use of Ipods or

podcasting – individuals practiced through trial and error
