Towards guidelines on educational podcasting quality: Problems arising from a real world experience

Abstract

This paper presents an experience of educational podcasting set up at the University of Bergamo (Italy), and derives from that experience some remarks upon the quality of podcasting services, in order to promote the definition of guidelines on podcasting quality. We discuss three main attributes of a podcasting environment: quality of the production environment (recording and editing), quality of the product (content and communication style), quality of the distribution environment (paratext and management). © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
