The case study introduces an example of the use of video podcasting to support the teaching of geographical software and theories. The lecturer first developed and used the video podcasts to the students who studied his course in 2006. He was able to reuse the podcasts to a new student cohort in 2007. Two user-exemplars developed based on the feedback and experience of the students in 2006 were made available from (http://www.impala.ac.uk/outputs/examplars/index.html). A comprehensive discussion about the use of podcasting to support practical-based learning was included in a book chapter written by Mount and Chambers (forthcoming). This user-exemplar was developed to reveal the experience and feedback from the new student cohort in 2007. We strongly recommend you to read this document in combination with the book chapter and the two user-exemplars developed from last year.
