This document outlines how a module podcast in a learning management system can be used to connect students to real world experiences, reflect on peer and self-performance, and review assignment briefings. It describes how the podcast provides opportunities for students to receive feedback, highlight key concepts, and show their work. The podcast also allows access to expert voices from careers staff, public podcasts, and conferences to supplement course material and exam preparation in an authentic way. In conclusion, educational podcasting extends and complements classroom learning through access to various voices and connections to professional and current events.
