Abstract
This article explores the usefulness of podcasts as a pedagogic tool.1 It situates the adoption of podcasts for learning and teaching within the context of a brief history of e-Learning itself and briefly reviews the suggestion that e-Learning and social media suit the construction of a new learner--the digital native. While treating much of the "digital native" debate with some caution, the argument is made that podcasting--as one pedagogic choice among many--is a fruitful avenue for practitioner exploration. It goes on to develop both an ideal-type of podcasting and some suggestions for a"podagogy" (Rosell-Aguilar, 2007). The article argues that podcasting is a simple, cheap, accessible and powerful means to explore learning opportunities through the adoption of social media.2 At the same time, podcasting represents a useful starting point for institutions, senior managers and e-leaders to develop e-cultures among teaching practitioners, within a context of leadership for creativity. (Contains 3 notes.)
