Title: Audio Case Studies
Case studies for any discipline, possibly in the form of a mini documentary featuring real people or 'actors'. They provide a rich resourse base for various learning and assessment activities. The resource bank is made by academics or student groups.

Title: Advocates
Advocates for various contexts (ie different disciplines) make a proposition to promote discussion or debate. For example, in Information Skills, someone such as an Information Specialist might advocate that, "Wikipedia is dangerous tool" and present an argument to support their assertion. This might generate other audio responses or might be used to seed discussions in online forums or classrooms.

Title: Patient Voices
Health students encounter patient stories through digital media. These stories can form the basis of various follow on activities. Similarly Client Voices would be an approach , possibly using Problem Based Learning methodology, which offers similar learning opportunities. The patient voices (or stories) are collected by academic staff, developers or students.

Title: Diagnostic Cases
Recordings of patients talking about, or being interviewed about, their symptoms. Medical students determine what is wrong. These recordings can be delivered as a podcast or they can be embedded in online assessment exercises. Similarly customer care diagnostic cases around various services could use a similar approach.

Title: Reflective Stories
Students on placement who are not in a position to record their actual experience (i.e. teachers, medics and anyone working whether they would be ethically constrained) are encouraged to create reflective digital stories. These can include abstract significant or real images that complement an aural telling of the experience.

Title: Ping Pong
A serial podcast taking the form of a conversation: one week the students submit work, the next the tutor responds. This exercise could use an Enquiry Based Learning approach over the course of a semester for example. It would support group work or individual work. Different student groups could either compare their ongoing work or could wait until the end to compare strategies. The media activity might be underpinned by other research and teaching activity.
Title: Interview pool
Staff and/or students post questions to a podcast feed. These questions could be discipline related or to do with job interviews. Where it is the students posting the questions, there are multiple benefits: by forming questions students immerse themselves more deeply in the topic; students benefit by attempting to answer questions; perhaps further discuss online might discuss the veracity of the questions. Finally, it can be useful for students to articulate questions and present these aloud to encourage confidence in the use of language.
