IMPALA Informal Mobile Podcasting and Learning Adaptation

Deliverables and Outcomes

• A first transferable and testable model of the potential for student learning that can be supported by personal audio broadcasting
• Resources for practitioners
• Subject-specific exemplars and user cases
• Guidelines for integrating Podcastin

1. A first transferable and testable model of the potential for student learning that can be supported by personal audio broadcasting, and a 'proof of concept' that can be reused and retried in different contexts, levels and disciplines. The model will be presented in highly accessible diagrammatic form with examples and user cases which will be available to practitioners to use with feedback. It will be distributed from an open website and through supported workshops.
2. Resources for practitioners for designing learning activities based on digitised audio for delivery on personal devices. The IMPALA Website will offer researched and tested guidelines and downloadable examples of Podcasts. An e mail address will be offered for technical advice.
3. Subject-specific exemplars and user cases developed from the evidence of students' learning experience. These will be produced in draft from the commencement of the study, through the Web site, which will request comments and feedback through the project blog and be provided in book format on completion of the project.
4. Guidelines for integrating Podcasting into disciplinary and institutional specific contexts and as part of institutional e-learning strategies. HEA Subject Centres and CETLs will be invited to engage in appropriate means of distribution of our findings and guidelines, in addition to our published means of distribution (see dissemination).
