Supporting a Blended Learning Course by Podcasting

The efficient use of different kinds of podcasts (audio, video and screen casts, enhanced podcasts) in a part-time degree programme based on blended learning at a university of applied sciences is presented. An integrated approach using podcasting is introduced that provides students with eLearning content in phases of distance learning. Educational content is prepared based on the principles of web didactics and distributed by podcasts. A course design is presented that integrates podcasting with phases of attendance in blended learning courses.
