New technologies, Information and Communications Technology have made sizable evolution and generated impact and improvement over the conditions for learning in education, training and Lifelong Learning (LLL).
To deal with the issues that are created by this changing landscape, a research project created across a course to review the use, effectiveness and impact of the podcast across teaching and learning scenarios and services. It was structured around some specific items: creation, deployment and impact. The output of this study illuminates the significant potentials of using podcast in learning process, intended learning outcomes as well as describes a conceptual framework used by integrating podcast into learning process.Keywords:
