DEFINITION & RATIONALE

A podcast is a series of digital-media files which are distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and computers. The term podcast, like broadcast, can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting (def. from wikipedia.org) Podcasting within the academic realm is a progressive way to disseminate lecture audio (or video) with associated content to students and other interested individuals dynamically.
