At the Royal Veterinary College, 60 first year BSc Veterinary Science students have started recording their own podcast lectures. The students record each lecture using a digital voice recorder and then edited the audio files on their own computer. The files are uploaded by the students onto the College VLE. In the first 4 months of the course the students have now recorded and uploaded over 60 lectures which have been accessed by the majority of the year group.
There has been some initial reluctance on the part of the academics to having their lectures recorded and published by the students. However, most staff have come to appreciate that this approach is of great value to dyslexic students as well as those who cannot make the lectures due to illness.
On the student's part, the initiative has proved to be extremely popular. They use the lectures both as a review tool after a lecture and as a revision resource. Most students listen to the lectures on their own PC or laptop but some have also started to listen to them on their MP3 players.
This presentation will outline the valuable role that students can have in adapting new web technologies to support their own learning.
