Abstract

This paper provides a review of the literature of empirical research on podcasts in higher education conducted between 2005 and 2009. A preliminary synthesis of the literature indicates that most studies focus on student perception, satisfaction, and achievement and accessibility, functionality, and usability of podcasts in education. A small proportion of these studies center on teacher education. We recommend that more comprehensive, long-term mixed method research be conducted on podcasts in higher and teacher education to determine their return on investment.
