Podcasting and Education: Concepts, Communities and Case Studies provides both theoretical frameworks and real-life examples to support readers in the use of podcasting as a medium in education.

This edited collection brings together the collective experience of educators from around the world who use podcasting in their pedagogical toolset, providing a rich, diverse collection of practical insights for educating through podcasting. Readers will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the diversity of opportunities for embedding audio into the classroom, learn from practitioners and educators who have been using podcasting in education for years, and gather ideas from inspirational case studies that represent models which can be adapted, adopted, or amended to suit a variety of contexts.
