This proved to be interesting. In my usual way I was expecting more than there actually is. To had a perceived problem that it did not work, only to find that these things are auditory not visual. I was looking to have vision associated with the podcast and when nothing appeared I assumed that it was not working. A blinding flash of realisation and away I went. These things can be very informative if you treat them correctly.
Having eliminated my problem, the exercise tasks required of me were not that difficult to achieve. I think this is a very good way to disseminate information to a remote audience. Podcasts would be an opportunity for library staff to provide information sessions to customers who could not attend the library in person to receive answers to requests for information or in-house tutorials. Podcasts may be time consuming to produce but having been made, they would save time in not having to repeat the same information regularly on common topics.
I agree that ideally we would use a video and sound for in-house tutorials.
