Registration is now open for a conference exploring innovative insights into the use of podcasting for teaching, learning, and training
Podcasting plays an increasing role around learning within our society. It follows that our University sector is increasingly using this audio technology to provide permeable interfaces between society and academia, supporting the evolution of the knowledge societies we serve.
Education Through Podcasting (EPOD) is organising its second conference on the 26 and 27 of June 2025 at Morley College London. This cements a partnership between Morley College London, University of Staffordshire, Keele University, and Routledge, including an annual conference and book series on the topic.
Professor Carola Boehm, of the C3 Centre for Creative Industries and Creative Communities at the University of Staffordshire, said: “Podcasting plays an increasing role around learning within our society.
