CONS
Content Control: Content will reside on users computers (not streamed). Malicious use is always a possibility.
Misaligned Course Pedagogy:
Organization of content is limited to how end user receives podcasts (RSS Feeder). End user can now receive content whenever it is published as opposed to regularly returning to course website
Takes time and effort: no matter how easy and fast it is to make, a podcast still takes consideration and application to make it effective.

Students Debate Pros and Cons of Lecture Podcasts
"I can't pay attention for an hour and 15 minutes," NYU freshman Amanda Allen said. "It would make my life better if I could go back and reference parts of the lecture."
Allen also said the classroom podcasts should not affect attendance. "The ones who would use this as an excuse probably wouldn't go to class anyway.”

Audacity
A free, open source software for recording and editing sounds in Linux, Mac OS X, and other operating systems.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
![Page 15: Podcasting. Why make a podcast? PROS Fast Distribution: Relatively Inexpensive: Simple: Added Modality: Accessibility: Facilitates “On the Go” Learning:](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ef55503460f94c0861a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Before you begin recording you will need to configure (set up) Audacity.
File > Preferences Audio I/O Tab > Recording Device Audio I/O Tab > Recording Device chosen Audio I/O Tab > Channels > 1 (Mono) Quality > Default Sample Rate: 44100 Hz Quality > Default Sample Format: 32-bit float Save your preferences by clicking OK

Convert the file to MP3 format. Audacity is a great program as is, but it is not natively capable of exporting
files compatible with MP3 Players. Instead, you must configure Audacity to use the LAME MP3 encoder which will be installed separately from the main Audacity Application.
MP3 is the defacto standard format for podcasts.
Use the minimum bit rate that provide good results. Here are some suggested settings:
* 48 - 56k Mono - sermons, audio books, talk radio * 64k+ Stereo - music, music & talk combinations * 128k Stereo - good quality music

Configure the LAME encoder, to export mp3
Download Lame encoder from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3
Start Audacity Edit > Preferences File Formats Tab > MP3 Export Setup Select Find Library browse to where you installed the file lame_enc.dll Select the file, and click the OK button Choose 128 from the drop down menu
