Podcast lectures are mp3 (audio) files which can be downloaded by students the moment they are made available.
With the recorded audio lectures, students can review their lectures anywhere, at any time while referring to their personal notes or printed lecture slides. Having the lectures available as podcasts increases their accessibility as students need not actively check for the latest updates.
The popularity and widespread use of personal digital audio devices provides an excellent platform for listening to lectures while on the move. This is an alternative to our webcast lectures, which require connection to a network.
