Another academic study into the use of podcasts for student education.

This one supports the trend from most. What has reseach shown?

• Podcasts are most effective when interagted with other forms of learning (workgroups, classroom etc)
• Podcasts are very useful for revision or 'fast facts' type learning (within a corpororate environment they could be used as part of the CPD process)
• Podcasts supplement texts and lecture notes but are not as effective as class room based learning
• Interactive podcasts requiring use of other source of materials or engagement with the podcast via a web site are more effective than simple play and listen podcasts
