EVALUATION

At the end of each term, we surveyed the use of 7 podcasts by means of a standar-dized questionnaire. Students submitted a total of 649 records, which could be analy-zed.

The survey revealed that 79% of the stu-dents made use of the podcast during the lecture time. About 1/3 of them spend more than 30 minutes with each episode and used further material (lecture script, personal no-tes, etc.) while listening to the podcast.

25% played the podcast on a mobile de-vice, while the great majority played it on a computer.
