Who will make the best podcast in the allotted time? Are you ready for the Great Podcast Challenge?

Each presenter is allowed a maximum of 10 slides and 10 minutes. After that, Andy will turn off the computer. Presentations welcome on any aspect of the theme. Simply bring your USB stick. The computer will have internet access and speakers. If you’d like to present please contact Carol Comer – c.comer@chester.ac.uk ).
Audio Transformation - audio voices as catalysts in a refreshed learner-centred curriculum (led by Andrew Middleton) Podcasting would appear to provide an ideal tool for knowledge transmission. However, it will be argued that the greater opportunity for education is its use as an engaging and formative device for developing learner articulation and self-efficacy and as a tool for connecting the learner to the authentic digital voices beyond the classroom. This active session will draw out good pedagogic examples from all of those present, building upon some principles that will be used to seed the session. .
