Teaching Philosophy

If you’ve considered using podcasts in your own philosophy courses, but don’t know where to start, I’ve compiled some resources here that should help lead the way.

“How-To”

What is a podcast? - a brief introduction to the technology of podcasting, which mentions some instructional benefits and considerations for using this new medium for information delivery

Podcasts in the classroom - an interview with a professor who uses podcasts in his courses (though he’s not a philosophy professor, his message still applies)
