Podcasting and Learning Styles http://www.contentious.com/2005/10/10/sounds-interesting-podcasting-learning-styles/ Amy Gahran's news and musings on how we communicate in the online age.

I'm much more visual-verbal (read: books) than auditory. I've been listening to podcasts more often for three reasons: 1) learn about podcasting, 2) get important information and ideas, and 3) try to train myself to be more auditory. I think we need to remember ALL learning styles as we design instructional material. I think we need to be careful, though. I’m much more visual-verbal (read: books) than auditory.

See: <a href="http://blog.contentious.com/archives/2005/02/19/how-to-receive-listen-podcasts">How to Receive and Listen to Podcasts</a>. Also, an easy way to get started listening to podcasts which came out after I'd published that article is the free online service <a href="http://odeo.com">Odeo</a>. I haven't actually played with it much myself, but I know people who use it and they say it's pretty easy to use. So it may be a good introductory tool. - Amy Gahran As a matter of fact, I do have a relevant article, Beth! See: How to Receive and Listen to Podcasts.

I've recently discovered audio books (yes, I know they've been around forever, I just recently got turned on to them) and I listen to them fanatically in my car. I find that the content tends to hang with me longer when I've heard it, rather than read it, and I seem to integrate it better. Thousands of years of oral tradition can't be wrong, I guess. Any tips on getting started in Podcasting? Do you have an article on that? --Beth Amy:
