This paper introduces how to set up an active learning environment using podcasting technology in a graduate level history course. It introduces various ways of using podcasting technology for different learning activities and learning purposes that the instructor thought could be applied in fostering students' research skills and oral skills. The various useages of podcasting technology with proper design theories are discussed well in this paper. This paper should be considered more as a report of a practice rather than a theoratical paper.

The paper is available at U of T library.
