Rationale for using podcasting / problems addressed with podcasting
//why do you want to use podcasting?//
 * Reflection
 * Feedback to students
 * To engage and involve students in teaching and learning
 * Long term benefits for student development and life long reflective learning

 * students are rarely engaged during lessons or lectures
 * Critical thinking is lacking
 * Academic skills are lacking

do you have enough information about your students?
 * No. Not as yet

is there anything you would like to investigate concerning your students?
