Short description

Digital Voices describes how the recorded voice is being used to enhance post-compulsory teaching and learning: podcasting, user-generated media assignments and audio feedback are a few of the 50 ideas explored here. Twenty four authors from the UK have produced essays, case studies and a set of inspirational and innovative digital media techniques - all grounded in progressive educational theory.

Extended description

Digital Voices argues that the time is right for post-compulsory education to develop 'audio-enhanced learning environments.' The technology is readily available and usable and innovative academics and students are already using it. The recorded voice is being used to capture the knowledge, ideas and enthusiasm of tutors, students, peer groups and mentors, employers, professionals and the general public, among others, adding a new rich seam to the student experience. The book explores the potential of educational podcasting, user-generated media assignments, audio feedback and fifty other pedagogic approaches through essays, case studies and scenarios - all grounded in progressive educational theory.
