Podcasts are of particular interest in order to promote flexibility in teaching and learning. In this note, we provide tips for creating podcasts with a particular relevance for computing students, based on our experience at Leeds Metropolitan University. A number of trials have taken place within Innovation North Faculty of Information and Technology including the development of learning materials and support mechanisms for academic staff wishing to develop new (or adapt existing) resources to this new format. To date, podcasts have been created to support the teaching of motion capture, advanced video technologies, and project-based work for computing students. CETL ALiC (Active Learning in Computing) is supporting the trials through the development of a Podcast Solutions Pilot which has allowed us to observe, support, develop and explore some of the issues around using this type of technology in a teaching and learning environment.
