SWOT analysis of using Podcasts

  (Getting from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasts)

And this video also show us what is a Podcast.

And the following is the SWOT analysis for using podcasts:

Strengths: It's clearly and easily for students to understand the subject by themselves. It can be used on ipad and mobile phone for learning.


Weaknesses: It will cost you lots of time on creating a podcast file.
And maybe it is not very good for some oversea learners if they don't have high English level. 


Opportunities: It's up-to -date material.


Threats: Increased absences when lectures are available online.




I can use this tool in teaching and learning but i won't rely on it.
I will use it when i want to review my subject quickly.
