Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate Iranian university students’ readiness towards using podcasting technology. One hundred and twenty university students completed the podcasting readiness questionnaire which measured their readiness through three sub-scales: access, familiarity, and experience. The results showed that a majority of students reported owning a portable device and more than half of them had easy access to these devices. They had a high level of familiarity with podcasts and only a few of them never downloaded a podcast. Most of them downloaded podcasts for listening to materials not related to their university courses. Although they had experienced classes that rarely provided them with podcasts, they believed that using podcasts would contribute to their learning in university courses.
