Abstract

The most widespread and current example of a type of a podcast is a song, usually 3 to 5 minutes long available in an electronic file format, such as MP3 or MP4, that also might be available as a music video with singers, dancers, and actors in addition to the song. The characteristics of an effective podcast are as follows: * A podcast is a single idea that can be explained verbally or, if necessary, with audio and appropriate still or motion pictures (not a face talking); * A podcast is a recorded event that is 3-10 minutes long; * A podcast is part of a series with each single event related to others; * A podcast is a learning object available in an electronic format that is easily played, most often as an MP3 file; * A podcast is stored on a Web site or other Internet location for easy access; and * A podcast is current and changed or updated frequently.
