Making sense of the intersection between media, society and technology
Students at the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at UBC are trying out something different. Instead of doing an essay as part of a course in agroecology, they are producing a 12 to 15 minute podcast.
It follows a larger interdisciplinary project on podcasting at the university I was involved with last year, which brought together students from journalism and agroecology to create a new kind of academic podcast, produced by students and happening outside of the lecture hall.
My friend and colleague, Andrew Riseman, explains why he has incorporated podcasting in his course:
