Abstract
Among the raft of social software tools that accompany the Web.20 revolution, podcasting technology has the potential to support learning in a range of settings and across multiple disciplines. This paper outlines innovative uses and applications of podcasting, with a particular focus on the higher education sector. In particular, the paper focuses on enhancing learning by using the technology not to merely deliver lecture content to learners, but to enable greater learner self-regulation. Examples are provided where learners have both control and agency in creating and distributing audio content of their own. Pedagogical applications that enable active learning through audio learning are discussed, with an emphasis on the use of the technology to facilitate the creation of learner-generated content that supports self-directed learning.
