 * Evidence:** Podcast – media type="file" key="How to write a resarch paper.mp3"


 * Rationale:** This piece of evidence was created for an LEC 100 course for non-traditional adult students just entering college. It is an accelerated hybrid course and employs the Desire 2 Learn (D2L) Course Management System website. This course module was created in “iPods in the Classroom” (EDT 604). The podcast audio file was developed to instruct students in the methods needed to correctly formulate a research paper. Students will download this file and listen to it as part of the on-line course. They will be able to replay or fast forward the podcast depending on their need to review the research paper material. The podcast audio file was recorded using an Apple laptop, and it was then altered and composed using the program Audacity.

The use of podcast audio files has become an important part in the teaching of on-line courses. Learning how to create a podcast audio was informative, interesting, and enjoyable. Future podcast audio files will be easily developed for other courses. Providing students with an up-to-date and different method of instruction in the classroom will add a new dimension to their learning and enhance their enjoyment of the material.
