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.

My friend and colleague, Andrew Riseman, explains why he has incorporated podcasting in his course:
