Genetics Education Using podcasts
The Genetics department at the University of Leicester has been using Podcasts as an educational tool for several years. One example of this is the IMPALA3 project which is being carried out in collaboration with Beyond Distance Research Alliance and Gilly Salmon, Professor in e-learning. It involves medical students working on a Genetics special study module in the production of podcasts giving information to other students about some of the ethical issues arising from approaches in the field.
There are two books available, edited by Gilly Salmon, on Podcasts in Education.

Student Learning Experience Podcasts
These podcasts were made as part of the IMPALA4T project where students were asked about the course modules which they took and to reflect on their personal experiences of the modules. These are all taught modules at the university of Leicester.
