GeroCast: Using podcasting to deliver living cases in gerontology education

Objective: To describe the creation of an educational podcast with ‘living cases’ of older adults to support students’ learning on a gerontology course and report on students’ evaluation of the project. Setting: Gerontology course in a graduate programme. Method: We developed a podcast series based on interviews with older adults in the community following recent guidelines for creating educational podcasts. The podcast episodes were used in a case-based group assignment to work on during the course and to present findings at the end. Evaluation: Student experiences were evaluated using a mixed-methods survey. Results: From November 2019 to January 2021, case-based podcasts, averaging 17 minutes in length, were created and evaluated. Most students found the content of the podcasts relevant to working with older adults and increased their understanding of the issues facing members of that population. Qualitative analysis of the survey findings found that the overall strengths of the podcasts were that they were well structured, provided an authentic, real-world experience, allowed listeners to experience an innovative teaching strategy, promoted reflection, and encouraged students to consider a future career working with older adults. Students also recommended ways to improve the podcasts. Conclusion: Delivering living case studies using podcasts is a feasible, inexpensive and effective teaching method for improving physiotherapy students’ attitudes towards caring for older adults. Students enjoyed learning via the podcasts and found them a valuable way to better understand the issues facing older adults. The living case podcasts could have broad applicability to other aging and health courses.

Подкастът и виртуалното учебно съдържание като част от променящите се образователни платформи

New technologies have already changed the educational sphere, and the influence of the podcast has become the subject of in-depth analysis because of the possibility of being quickly and flexibly applied as an educational resource. Educators can easily create engaging and useful audio content that enables learners to consume it at any time and place. In this article, we demonstrate how podcasting and visual content in education can increase accessibility and encourage engagement.

Repurposing lectures and reviews into educational blogs.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a disruption in health education,1 and the delivery of content and skill development evolved into hybrid models, where most of the knowledge-based material is delivered online and the practical activities in person. This requires the faculty to have technological skills, to create learning objects (LO) that are suitable for the online methodology. A LO can be used as a stand-alone module or as a resource to create content.2 The repurpose of LOs has been described in health sciences education, including nursing3 and dentistry,4 with favorable response from the students. A proposed strategy to create LOs in an efficient manner, is to follow the concept of a supply chain, from planning to deployment, with the possibility of repurposing the material for a variety of educational contexts, using tools with the potential to export to diverse media.5 The transformation of a lecture or a literature review to a digital format, constitutes a re-design where the material evolves to produce additional educational objects. The New Media Consortium has created specific guidelines for the creation of learning objects.6 Some examples are a sharable content object reference model (SCORM) for a learning management system (LMS); a video file; a written document (blog or manual); or even a podcast. The newly developed LO can be used not only for teaching purposes, but also for marketing or showcasing to potential students and collaborators (Figure 1). By repurposing lectures designed for in-person instruction, and literature reviews created as complementary readings, a collection of blogs was created and hosted on an open platform (ostrowon.usc.edu). The blogs are organized by discipline and provide useful information regarding clinical entities and their management, suitable for clinicians or patients. The analytics on the website (April 1st – June 30th, 2022), show that the most visited blogs are those focusing on step-by-step “how-to”s for clinical procedures (Figure 2). The main challenge is to maintain a continuous flow of updated information. The proposed model of blog creation based on existing content could be used for any discipline. Further research is required to compare the efficacy of the blogs with other types of tools, such as videos and podcasts for dental education.

Podcasting urban geographies: examining the utility of student-generated research podcasts for deep learning and education for sustainable development

ABSTRACT Action-oriented pedagogies are becoming an increasingly popular instructional approach within higher education, encouraging students to learn by doing and to actively participate in the construction of knowledge, forming part of learning-centred and research-centred approaches to teaching and learning thought to assist deep learning. Such pedagogies are also critical for attending to broader societal challenges through education for sustainable development (ESD). Despite pedagogical shifts, assessment methods remain largely centred on more traditional written methods such as exams or essays, even though there is a growing recognition of the diversity of learners within higher education institutions, coupled with recent drives for adoption of universal design principles for learning (UDL). Within this context, this paper reports on the use of audio podcasts for assessment in a final year urban geography module. Reflective statements completed by the students were analysed to examine the utility of learner-generated research-based podcasts for learning and assessment in urban geography, focussing on the depth of learning, creativity, and the development of graduate attributes. Podcasts have received little attention as a tool for teaching, learning and assessment within Geography, yet innovations in assessment can enhance the profile and popularity of Geography in higher education and beyond.

Technology in the era of society 5.0 is an important aspect that needs more attention so that it can be directed at achieving progress. This service focuses on responding to the progress of the times and the needs of today's learning, where application innovation is needed. One aspect that determines the success of learning is the availability of teaching materials that are accessible to users. The innovation of the anchor application in providing teaching materials for the Pancasila and Citizenship Education podcast has become the focus of this study. Innovative activities contain issues and focus of service, goals of service, research methods/approaches/strategies. Training and socialization of the importance of innovation in education through anchor applications is one of the very possible momentums to be developed. Making learning content that is easily accessible and can increase students' interest in learning the material needs to be presented in a more innovative form. The anchor application training and socialization will be implemented at SMP Negeri 1 Anjir Muara Barito Kuala. The school was selected with data that teachers and students have facilities that allow them to use the anchor application on smartphones. The service was carried out on July 2, 2022 at SMP Negeri 1 Anjir Muara Barito Kuala.

Enhancing Oral Academic English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) through self-regulated Listening to Authentic Educational Podcast

This study investigated the role of self-regulated listening practice to authentic lecture podcast in improving oral English for instructional purposes. It employed an experimental study design complemented by qualitative tools. The participants (56 teachers) were drawn from a population of upper secondary school subject area teachers. The data was generated through classroom observation scheme and in-depth interview. Independent sample t-test and thematic analysis were employed to analyze the quantitative data (from the observation) and qualitative data (from the interview) respectively. The results showed that a combined use of listening to authentic lecture podcast and self-regulated listening strategies play an important role in improving English language deficiency of teachers for instructional purposes across discourse functions of lesson introduction, definition, elaboration, hypothesizing and use of discourse markers. The discourse functions of questioning remain largely unaffected. The positive results have promising educational implications suggesting the possibility of using this package of intervention in pre-service and in-service teacher training programs to enhance EMI teachers’ oral English for instructional ends.

Pre-voters' Political Education Activities at the Election Smart House amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic

Pre-voters are a group that will prepare to become novice voters in the next few years; it is important to prepare them to become intelligent and rational voters, one of which is through the existence of the Election Smart House. The research design employed a qualitative descriptive method. The researcher describes in-depth and comprehensively the activities of pre-voter political education at the Election Smart House of the Pekanbaru City of General Elections Commission during the Covid-19 pandemic. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research informants include the commissioner of the General Election Commission of Pekanbaru City, the Elecivicction Smart House of Pekanbaru City manager, and Pancasila and Civic Education teachers teaching at Senior High Schools in Pekanbaru City. The results showed that during the Covid-19 pandemic, from 2020 until now, the activities in the Election Smart House were not very active. It was noted that during the pandemic in the last two years, there were no visits from students to the Election Smart House of the Pekanbaru City owned by the General Elections Commission or visits from the City’s Election Smart House to high schools in Pekanbaru. Therefore, to overcome this situation, the Election Smart House manager initiated a creative idea by procuring Voter Education Podcasts in the Election Smart House by inviting resource persons and broadcasting them through the Pekanbaru City KPU (General Election Commission) YouTube channel. This activity is one way to educate the public without violating the health protocol and an effort to keep the Election Smart House as the center of community political education, especially students as pre-voters.

Practises, Drivers and Barriers of an Emerging Regenerative Higher Education in The Netherlands—A Podcast-Based Inquiry

Universities have the potential, and the responsibility, to take on more ecological and relational approaches to facilitating learning-based change in times of interconnected socioecological crises. Signs for a transition towards these more regenerative approaches of higher education (RHE) that include more place-based, ecological, and relational, ways of educating can already be found in niches across Europe (see for example the proliferation of education-based living labs, field labs, challenge labs). In this paper, the results of a podcast-based inquiry into the design practises and barriers to enacting such forms of RHE are shown. This study revealed seven educational practises that occurred across the innovation niches. It is important to note that these practises are enacted in different ways, or are locally nested in unique expressions; for example, while the ‘practise’ of cultivating personal transformations was represented across the included cases, the way these transformations were cultivated were unique expressions of each context. These RHE-design practises are derived from twenty-seven narrative-based podcasts as interviews recorded in the April through June 2021 period. The resulting podcast (The Regenerative Education Podcast) was published on all major streaming platforms in October 2021 and included 21 participants active in Dutch universities, 1 in Sweden, 1 in Germany, 1 in France, and 3 primarily online. Each episode engages with a leading practitioner, professor, teacher, and/or activist that is trying to connect their educational practice to making the world a more equitable, sustainable, and regenerative place. The episodes ranged from 30 to 70 min in total length and included both English (14) and Dutch (12) interviews. These episodes were analysed through transition mapping a method based on story analysis and transition design. The results include seven design practises such as cultivating personal transformations, nurturing ecosystems of support, and tackling relevant and urgent transition challenges, as well as a preliminary design tool that educational teams can use together with students and local agents in (re)designing their own RHE to connect their educational praxis with transition challenges.

Insomnia as an Unmet Need in Patients With Chronic Hematological Cancer: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating a Consumer-Based Meditation App for Treatment of Sleep Disturbance.

BackgroundTo address the need for long-term, accessible, nonpharmacologic interventions targeting sleep in patients with chronic hematological cancer, we propose the first randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of a consumer-based mobile meditation app, Calm, on sleep disturbance in this population.ObjectiveThis study aims to test the efficacy of daily meditation delivered via Calm compared with a health education podcast control group in improving the primary outcome of self-reported sleep disturbance, as well as secondary sleep outcomes, including sleep impairment and sleep efficiency; test the efficacy of daily meditation delivered via Calm compared with a health education podcast control group on inflammatory markers, fatigue, and emotional distress; and explore free-living use during a 12-week follow-up period and the sustained effects of Calm in patients with chronic hematological cancer.MethodsIn a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, we will recruit 276 patients with chronic hematological cancer to an 8-week app-based wellness intervention—the active, daily, app-based meditation intervention or the health education podcast app control group, followed by a 12-week follow-up period. Participants will be asked to use their assigned app for at least 10 minutes per day during the 8-week intervention period; complete web-based surveys assessing self-reported sleep disturbance, fatigue, and emotional distress at baseline, 8 weeks, and 20 weeks; complete sleep diaries and wear an actigraphy device during the 8-week intervention period and at 20 weeks; and complete blood draws to assess inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and C-reactive protein) at baseline, 8 weeks, and 20 weeks.ResultsThis project was funded by the National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute (R01CA262041). The projects began in April 2022, and study recruitment is scheduled to begin in October 2022, with a total project duration of 5 years. We anticipate that we will be able to achieve our enrollment goal of 276 patients with chronic hematological cancers within the allotted project time frame.ConclusionsThis research will contribute to broader public health efforts by providing researchers and clinicians with an evidence-based commercial product to improve sleep in the long term in an underserved and understudied cancer population with a high incidence of sleep disturbance.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT05294991; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05294991International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)PRR1-10.2196/39007

Learning Through Listening: A Scoping Review of Podcast Use in Medical Education.

To improve understanding of podcast use in medical education by examining current research on descriptive attributes and educational outcomes, highlighting implications of the current evidence base for educational practices, and identifying research gaps to guide future investigation. The authors conducted a scoping review, searching PubMed and Embase databases in June-July 2020 for English-language studies of audio-only medical education podcast use in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education. The authors excluded studies without original data or with nonphysician data that could not be separated from physician data. From included studies, the authors extracted data regarding descriptive outcomes (e.g., podcast use, content areas, structure) and educational outcomes (classified using Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of evaluation). Of 491 unique articles, 62 met inclusion criteria. Descriptive outcomes were reported in 44 studies. Analysis of these studies revealed podcast use has increased over time, podcasts are a top resource for resident education, and podcasts are being incorporated into formal medical curricula. Educational outcomes were reported in 38 studies. The 29 studies that assessed learner reaction and attitudes to podcasts (Kirkpatrick level 1) showed learners value podcasts for their portability, efficiency, and combined educational and entertainment value. The 10 studies that assessed knowledge retention (Kirkpatrick level 2) showed podcasts to be noninferior to traditional teaching methods. The 11 studies that assessed behavior change (Kirkpatrick level 3) showed improved documentation skills in medical students and self-reported practice change in residents and practicing physicians after listening to podcasts. None of the studies reported system change or patient outcomes (Kirkpatrick level 4). Future research should focus on the optimal structure of podcasts for learning, higher-level outcomes of podcasts, and the implementation of podcasts into formal curricula. Podcasts may prove to be essential tools for disseminating and implementing the most current, evidence-based practices.

Reflections on the production and use of interviews as a learning tool in educational podcasts for medical undergraduates

IntroductionThe therapeutic interview is one of the cornerstones of psychiatric practice. When practitioners are skilled in the art of interviewing, patients are allowed to share their narratives and explore their emotions, while the clinician can diagnose and treat more effectively. Discussions with colleagues can be used to share knowledge and experience. As part of a student project undertaken in Summer 2021, two students were tasked with producing a series of educational podcasts to be used for psychiatric training. Both students chose to complete several interviews with professionals in psychiatry. In this study, they will reflect on the efficacy of interviews as a learning tool, their experiences of podcast interviewing, and the transferable skills that they learned.ObjectivesTo reflect on the use of interviews within podcasts and how this can be transferred to practice.MethodsBased on the literature review, medical students conducted interviews with specialist clinicians in order to gain information around patient treatment. They then reflected on this experience.ResultsThe practice of interviewing allowed for the development of a range of skills. It improved communication with senior professionals, provided a deeper knowledge of different psychiatric fields, and developed the written skills needed for the creation of engaging questions.ConclusionsInterviews are a useful tool in educational podcasts and producing these helped medical students gain specialist insight and learning into different medical fields not thoroughly covered in the undergraduate curriculum. Producing the podcasts helped to develop the key skill of interviewing and communicating with more senior colleagues.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

“Dissolving Cartesian dualism”: using a novel student-lead podcast to explore the relationship between neurological and psychiatric illness

IntroductionPsychiatric conditions can be both a symptom and a consequence of physical disease. Although understanding of this is important for health care delivery, coverage of the relationship between physical and psychiatric illness in undergraduate medical education is sparse. This relationship is particularly pertinent in neurological disorders, where psychiatric symptomatology is commonplace. As part of a student project, the author was tasked with developing accessible teaching materials to increase interest and understanding among medical students, using podcasts.ObjectivesThe aim was to develop podcasts which explored the relationship between psychiatric and neurological illness, for use in undergraduate psychiatric training.MethodsLiterature reviews were performed on podcasting in medical education to identify the optimal methods of production to maximise educational value, and on topics covered in podcasts to inform the interview questions. Experts in the relevant areas were contacted for recorded interviews, later used to create podcasts.ResultsFour interviews were conducted between the author and consultant neurologists specialising in the specific neurological condition. A podcast was produced for each of the following topics: depression in multiple sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia in motor neurone disease, Lewy body dementia, and dissociative seizures.ConclusionsPsychiatric and physical illness are often intertwined. As the prevalence of psychiatric illness rises, it is becoming increasingly important that this connection is recognised, in order to improve patient experiences and outcomes. Novel teaching modalities, such as podcasts, can provide additional ways to support medical education on this important topic.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

A Mobile App for Stress Management in Middle-Aged Men and Women (Calm): Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

BackgroundMiddle-aged adults (40-65 years) report higher stress levels than most other age groups. There is a need to determine the feasibility of using a meditation app to reduce stress and improve stress-related outcomes in middle-aged adults with a focus on men, as previous meditation app–based studies have reported a low proportion of or even no male participants.ObjectiveThis study aims to (1) determine the feasibility (ie, acceptability and demand with a focus on men) of a consumer-based meditation app (Calm), to reduce stress among middle-aged adults reporting elevated stress levels, and (2) explore the preliminary effects of Calm on perceived stress, psychological outcomes (anxiety, depressive symptoms, mindfulness, and general coping), health behaviors (physical activity and eating habits), and COVID-19 perceptions.MethodsThis feasibility randomized controlled trial evaluated an app-based meditation intervention in middle-aged adults (N=83) with elevated stress levels (ie, Perceived Stress Scale score ≥15) and limited or no previous experience with meditation. Participants were randomized to the intervention group (Calm app) or a control (educational podcasts; POD) group. Participants completed self-report assessments at baseline and postintervention (week 4). Feasibility was measured as acceptability and demand using Bowen framework. Feasibility and COVID-19 perceptions data were examined using descriptive statistics, and preliminary effects were evaluated using repeated measures analysis of variance.ResultsParticipants were satisfied with Calm (27/28, 96%) and found it appropriate or useful (26/28, 93%). Most reported they would likely continue using the Calm app (18/28, 64%). More Calm users reported satisfaction, appropriateness or usefulness, and intent to continue app use than POD users. Calm users (n=33) completed a mean of 20 (SD 31.1) minutes of meditation on the days they meditated and 103 (SD 109.1) minutes of meditation per week. The average adherence rate to the prescribed meditation was 71% among Calm app users, compared to 62% among POD users. Recruitment rate of men was 35% (29/83). Of those randomized to Calm, 55% (15/29) were men, and retention among them was higher (14/15, 93%) than that among women (12/20, 60%). No significant within or between group differences were observed.ConclusionsA 4-week, app-based mindfulness meditation intervention (Calm) may be feasible for middle-aged adults and a useful stress-management tool. Calm users expressed satisfaction with the app and felt it was appropriate and useful. Significant improvements in perceived stress and psychological outcomes or stress-related health behaviors were not observed. Even though men spent less time in meditation than women did and completed fewer weekly sessions, they were more likely to adhere to the prescription. Further research is needed for improving stress and stress-related outcomes among middle-aged adults with emphasis on the effects of mindfulness meditation apps for men.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT04272138; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04272138

Podcasting in higher education as a component of Universal Design for Learning: A systematic review of the literature

ABSTRACT More students with disabilities are attending university than ever before. Many universities are adopting Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a framework for accessible course design and delivery. Audio podcasting is a strategy well-aligned with all three principles of UDL, providing students with options for engagement, representation, and expression. The current systematic review explored the use of audio podcasting in higher education and its impact on teaching and learning. A total of 17 studies were examined based on the three principles of UDL. Findings suggest that although there is limited evidence of its impact on learning, students and educators find podcasting to be a unique way to engage with content.

English Podcast as Media for English Language Learning: A Case of Higher Education in the Pandemic Situation

The procedure of doing the study consisted of introduction covering literature study and need survey; and development phases. The results produced a concept and a product of podcast based on literature study of books and national as well as international journal articles. Also, it shows that Podcast is very possible to be applied in higher education for its affordable infrastructures. The podcast is an Education Podcast using free-software application – Audacity with some supports such as Television, Portable Podcast Console, Desktop Podcasting Microphone Kit, Studio Headphone, dan Portable Computer [laptop]. The audio products were uploaded in the Podcast Website - https://anchor.fm/arif-suryopriyatmojo/episodes/. Suggestions for the study are the need of support from all stakeholders for podcast development that can reach broader community and 2) active participation of lecturers to integrate technology in the learning process.

Physical education podcasts: a thriving community of practice or a one-way mode of communication?

ABSTRACT Background Educational podcasts are a new medium that provides content and profession-specific knowledge. Although educational podcasts are widely distributed and listened to within professional fields, little is known about the communities of learners or communities of practices (CoPs) that surround them. Within the field of physical education, effective CoPs have been documented within social media spaces, such as Twitter and Facebook, whereby physical educators engage to strengthen each other’s teaching practices and knowledge. Although scholars have suggested that CoP exist around these podcasts, no research to date has examined these communities. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine what motivates podcast creators and listeners within the field of physical education and how CoPs are cultivated using podcasts. Methods A purposive sample of 15 participants (7 = podcast creators, 8 = podcast listeners) were interviewed for this study. This investigation was guided by an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach (IPA). Separate interview guides were developed for the PE podcast creators and PE podcast listeners, being developed using the CoP and research questions, with each guide having similar and overlapping questions. In addition, an inductive category development method was used to analyze the data. Results Three themes were constructed: (a) enhancing and replacing professional development experiences, (b) degrees of community around physical education podcasts, and (c) attractive features of podcasts and areas of improvement. Conclusions The findings support that an emerging CoP centered around physical education podcasts is being used as a means of knowledge-sharing. However, issues were raised that can negate the benefits of CoPs. These findings inform how physical education practitioners are engaged in informal professional development and the growing literature around CoPs that exist around educational podcasts in general.

Anatomy podcasts for medical education.

The implementation of podcasts as a complementary educational activity increased over the past year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Being an alternative channel for transmission of anatomical knowledge, the on-demand audio broadcasts became an intriguing medium for both students and educators. This paper presents the results of a questionnaire study on the evaluation of an audio podcast designed specifically for the first-year medical students as an innovative and optional component of the human anatomy course. The audience expressed their opinions in four categories: engagement in listening to the podcast, content and preferences, technical level and perspectives of using the podcast in further years of medical studies. Despite the non-compulsory nature of the podcast, the listenership reached the level of 45%. In the study, 1608 listeners had access to the survey and the overall response rate was 35.9%. Based on the analysis, the attitude and preferences of the listeners were demonstrated, including the preferred time of listening, length of the episodes, selection of topics, format of the broadcast, or the method of its delivery. Students also commented on the influence of the podcast on passing the final exam in anatomy and a concept of recording broadcasts in a foreign language. The presented data allowed the recognition of the needs of medical students and contributed to the improvement of the ongoing project. The paper presents the technical data and guidelines for educators willing to include this medium in the students' anatomical curriculum.

Gender Distribution of Emergency Medicine Podcast Speakers

Over the past 2 decades, podcasting has become an easy and inexpensive way to disseminate information. Given the increasing importance of podcasts in medicine and medical education, it is important to understand the current status of diverse voices on podcasts. The primary objective of this study was to describe the distribution of women and men as hosts and guest speakers among 3 popular emergency medicine podcasts across a 10-year period. The secondary objective was to evaluate the association between host gender and speaker gender. We performed a retrospective cohort study of the gender distribution of hosts and guest speakers among 3 popular emergency medicine podcasts from July 2011 to June 2021. Data were extracted and their gender determined using pronouns listed in their faculty profiles or using Genderize. The data were presented descriptively using subanalyses by year and the type of speaker. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for the likelihood of a single host predicting a speaker's gender. We identified 2,834 podcasts (n=5,962 speakers), with 964 (16.2%) women and 4,996 (83.8%) men speakers. Among hosts, 10.2% were women and 89.8% were men, whereas among guest speakers, 23.4% were women and 76.5% were men. The distribution of women speakers increased from 9.1% in 2011 to 23.1% in 2021. Having a woman host had an OR of 2.40 (95% CI 1.72 to 3.34) for having a woman guest speaker, whereas having a man host had an OR of 0.42 (95% CI 0.30 to 0.58) for having a woman guest speaker. Among the 3 popular emergency medicine podcasts, there are few women speakers, hosts, and guest speakers; however, the proportion has risen over the past 10 years.
