Set guidelines for content, language use, source use and time  based on the learning objectives

With Podcast equipment: follow instructions, check in advance, use appropriate recording programs, e.g. Audacity. Find Get start-help at NDLA

Without equipment: there are many easy methods to create a podcast, e.g. with a recording function on a PC or mobile device, or by trying the free app/website Anchor, which also provides jingles and effects. It is recommended to record on a mobile phone and edit on the website. GarageBand can also be used, and Creaza also has a podcast function (AudioEditor). 

Students can create a podcast rather than a presentation, a professional discussion or an oral hearing.

With an episode for each topic in the subject, students can build a good summary resource for the exam. This can also function as a portfolio assessment..

Be in role: interview famous people/historical figures, discuss and argue for/against.

Language training: adapt the language to the recipient, situation and topic

Language training: English and other foreign languages.

Flip teaching: create short professional podcasts for students, preferably featuring interviews with relevant local community members.
