Most often used podcasts are developed by instructors to broadcast content information for their students to access at leisure. This article explains how podcasts have been developed by students to support their learning and share with fellow learners. In addition, the students’ podcasts are furthered by adding multimodal interactivity with text, quizzes, images and links to websites.
