Lead Practitioner : Rose Clark (University of Portsmouth)

The workshop will introduce participants to the basic software required to make a pedagogical audio file. In addition to hands on experience, the workshop type sessions will involve input based on the 6 Ps Portsmouth model and discussion relating to the implications for the teacher of moving to an online/blended learning environment. The nature and role of scripts and implications of adding graphics, text and video will also be addressed. Participants should bring memory sticks to save and take away work produced.

In the early session participants make a group podcast to raise awareness of the issues involved and overcome technical phobias. Presentation sessions will outline the model with reference to other approaches and experiences of podcasting. A further hands-on session is intended to deepen participants‘ understanding both of the technology and the model. The final session is intended to bring all the issues of the day to a close.
