Even though I usually don’t like to advertise for Elliot Masie ;-) , I just found a podcast on how to do podcast for educational purposes through Masie’s newsletter. You can get the podcast from this site.

Some ideas they used:

  • Using interview podcasts with experts from the subject area that you need for your own seminar
  • "treasure hunt" podcast: using a podcast to lead people through certain locations. This could be used for the introduction of new employees in a company
  • course cast: record a regular course and distribute it for reinforcement and repetition of the course
  • integrating podcasts into other devices, e.g. coffee machine, kitchen, etc. to support the work flow or to train employees
  • "executive books program" –> author interviews about their books, about 20 minutes to reduce the immense amount of material otherwise to be found.
