Thomas Kelsey Boivin Will Brehm Fatih Aktas Bahar Cemre Karaagacli InJung Cho Phyllis Kyei Mensah British Journal of Educational Technology Abstract Podcasts are now one of the most ubiquitous forms of digital engagement and entertainment. Their increasing global impact also extends to higher education (HE), where they serve a variety of pedagogical purposes despite limited conceptual clarity. This paper reports on a scoping review exploring the concept and role of podcasts in HE teaching and learning. Based on a review of 91 publications, the paper maps definitions, taxonomies and pedagogical uses of podcasts, leading to a working definition of the concept ‘educational podcasts’. This conceptualisation seeks to capture the many types of pedagogical work for which podcasts are used in contemporary HE, which are explored in an adapted taxonomy based on the scoping review. The paper then points to four key areas for future research. Together, the paper thinks productively and creatively toward further development in researching and teaching of, with and through podcasts. Practitioner notes What is already known about this topic? Podcasts have been used in teaching and learning within higher education for more than a decade. Podcasts have great potential for teaching and learning. Much of the related research either fails to define a podcast or uses the terminology variously. What this paper adds? This paper explores the ways that podcasts have been defined and studied in higher education teaching and learning. It clarifies and clearly summarises various bodies of literature. It offers an updated taxonomy and definition of educational podcasts. It outlines a research agenda for studying podcasts and teaching/learning in higher education in the years to come. Implications for practice and/or policy Podcasts can be used in innovative ways both within and beyond higher education classrooms. Educators (and students) are encouraged to think creatively and productively about how podcasts can enhance teaching and learning. Policymakers, researchers, educators and other stakeholders are wise to consider the longer‐term impacts and possibilities for podcasts as a key source of pedagogy for students and the general public. 10.1111/bjet.70021 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
