Podcasts As a Medium to Foster the Historical Imagination of Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Online learning caused polemics in education, so teachers began showing action in creative pedagogy through the learning media, such as podcasts. This study aims to de-scribe podcast media that can be used to grow students' historical imagination in learning History and Social Sciences. Historical imagination is the cognitive ability to add or fill an insufficient space of historical facts. This research uses qualitative methods with a phenome-nological approach. The subject of this study was an eleventh-grade student of the social studies program at SMA Negeri 1 Tuntang and a teacher—data collection through online interviews via a Google form. The results showed that podcast media is a form of creative learning in history and social studies. Podcasts as a medium to grow students' historical imagination through the material "Stories from the Past” and "Come on Listen” content. The results showed that 74.6% of students responded positively about implementing podcast media. Despite having a high presentation in positive responses, 22.2% of students still have difficulty understanding the material using podcast media, and the rest feel ordinary, so they give advice. Based on this, it can be concluded that podcast media can be used to grow stu-dents' historical imagination despite several internal and external obstacles. An internal bot-tleneck in the podcast creation process takes quite a while. In contrast, external barriers are caused by students' growing demands for podcast-based learning. © 2023, Universitas Negeri Semarang. All rights reserved.

Community of inquiry Framework Combined With Podcast Media in Nursing Education innovation During Covid-19 Pandemic: An Evaluative Study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has not researched inquiry methods much, other than that it has never been combined with podcast media to better refine students' abilities. The purpose of this study was to determine student satisfaction with basic nursing theory and practice courses taught using the Community of Inquiry framework using podcast media. Methods: This evaluation was done at a university using a validated Community of Inquiry survey (n = 54) and interviews (n = 20). A convenience sample of 54 graduate students enrolled in a core research field comprised the study participants. The quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and the qualitative data were thematically coded. Results: Five major themes emerged: It was a new experience, and fun to learn; it is challenging to learn; it is an ongoing enthusiasm; it is well known, and useful to others. Overall, student satisfaction was high, especially in the cognitive presence (critical thinking) and instructor presence (mostly related to pedagogy) categories. Student perspectives on developing "social presence" vary, but the framework is generally effective for stimulating inquiry and fostering a sense of community. Students can gain thorough knowledge of the learning goals they wish to pursue. Conclusion: Formation of an "investigation community" through the use of the media of podcasts. This framework has significant potential for use in the teaching of nursing research subjects; satisfaction is high when students report learning not only theory and practice, but also how to "make" character changes through the formation of professional and intellectual communities.

Bringing together podcasting, social work field education and learning about practice with Aboriginal peoples and communities

Social work content podcasting has increased exponentially in recent years, playing a new role in the emerging social work education debate surrounding online and remote delivery of social work content. Although podcasting itself is not now a new digital innovation, how and why social work educators and academics would embrace the use of podcasting is still debated and is often positioned as inferior to face-to-face classroom teaching. In the Australian context this is particularly important when non-Aboriginal students are engaging with Aboriginal understandings of place and ways of relating to Country, a challenging reflexive exercise without the added complexity that remote educational delivery can provide. The brief history of podcasting and its relationship to social work education provides a context for re-imagining the pedagogy of critical thinking, with a case example provided of a remote field placement with The Social Work Stories Podcast during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Cordel Literature in the Classroom: Reflections from the Podcast Developed by Pet-Letras/Ufpe

This paper aims to describe the elaboration of the episode "Cordel literature in the classroom", which is part of the Tutorial Education Program (PET-Letras) Podcast of the Federal University of Pernambuco, broadcast on the Group's YouTube channel, the Parafraseando. We aim to reflect on the place of cordel literature in the classroom, relating the speech of the interviewee, Professor Helder Pinheiro (UFCG), to theories about poetry in the classroom, in order to present the methodology for the construction of this type of extension action that has been giving good results. It is also interesting to point out that the construction of the podcast comes from the need that the group had to continue its outreach activities in the face of the new coronavirus pandemic.

An evolving engagement programme for patients with photodermatoses

We previously reported on our experience of an in-person Scottish Photobiology Service (SPS) patient engagement event in 2019 and of its utility in defining what matters to patients with photosensitivity. We identified key issues with delays in referral from primary care, lack of availability of peer support and a need for disease-specific information to raise awareness of photosensitivity for family and employers. Through a follow- up workshop, we identified a workstream of activities planning to address these issues, which were modified by the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic. However, we successfully moved our programme to a virtual platform, and we report on our progress. Twice-yearly virtual TEAMS patient engagement half-day events, attended by patients and staff, provided patients with a forum to discuss with each other issues that they have identified as being important to them. These ranged from the isolation, anxiety and embarrassment associated with photosensitivity, dealing with friends who do not understand their condition, through to coping mechanisms and practicalities, such as sourcing sun protective clothing, dealing with sports activities and photoprotective measures in schools. The virtual events have received extremely positive feedback both in terms of content and utility for patients, as well as the convenience of the virtual format. To supplement these activities, we have also distributed twice-yearly SPS newsletters since 2020, initiated at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure our patients knew we were there for them, despite the challenges of the pandemic and, again, this was most positively received. Regarding delays in referral from primary care, patient feedback indicated that this was mainly due to not being taken seriously, possibly due to a lack of understanding of photosensitivity in community care. We are addressing this by developing a 'photosensitivity red flag' poster for distribution throughout primary care in Scotland to raise awareness of the symptoms to look out for in photosensitivity conditions. Finally, we have also embarked on creating a series of diseasespecific podcasts. These involve an informal discussion between a patient with photosensitivity and a consultant photodermatologist, with a mediator present, to raise awareness of the true impact of a range of photodermatoses on many aspects of life. We demonstrate this ongoing programme of diverse patient engagement and educational activities in photodermatology, to highlight the model of a multifaceted hybrid approach to provide additional support for patients with photodermatoses. Acknowledgments: we wish to acknowledge all our SPS patients, their families and staff for their invaluable contributions.

Uppsala Monitoring Centre and WHO Programme of International Drug Monitoring

Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) is an independent and self-funded Swedish foundation. There are many stakeholders in the field of medicines safety, and by drawing on our different competences, skills and roles in the PV world, UMC strives to always pursue our vision: working together to advance medicines safety. UMC's different business areas focus on various external stakeholders, one of which focuses on the WHO Programme of International Drug Monitoring (WHO PIDM). Since 1968, the programme has provided a forum for WHO Member States to collaborate in pharmacovigilance. This enables programme members to be alerted to patterns of harm emerging across the world, but which might not be evident from their local data alone. There are now over 170 member countries/territories. The programme's operational activities were moved to Uppsala in 1978 under the sponsorship of the Swedish government, which marked the starting point for our organization and its designation as one of WHO's 800 Collaborating centres - the WHO Collaborating Centre for International Drug Monitoring.1 UMC is custodian and manager of VigiBase, WHO's global database of reported potential side effects of medicinal products. This gold mine is used to generate insights for various PV stakeholders. The WHO PIDM members, which are usually the national regulatory authorities, collect reports of adverse events from patients, physicians, the pharmaceutical industry and other stakeholders within their national PV systems. VigiBase accumulates the data from programme members, and currently contains about 33 million case reports. For other external stakeholders, VigiBase data can be made available with limited level of detail via VigiBase Services, open to, for example, academia, the pharmaceutical industry and health care providers.2,3 Besides VigiBase maintenance, our Collaborating Centre also provides programme members with IT solutions for data collection and analysis in their national setting to support their mission for safe products in their markets. There are many IT solutions, but to highlight two: VigiFlow, for example, is a data collection and management system, used by over 100 members as their national safety database. And in VigiLyze, members have a powerful analysis tool free of charge, which can analyse national data as well as data in regional collaborations with instant access to the global data in VigiBase and others' experiences as a reference. Safety signals found by UMC and other programme members are also available in VigiLyze. The Collaborating Centre generates and shares credible and evidence-based information on the safety of medicines and vaccines for further decision-making by regulators and scientific high-level committees. That work relies on the use of sophisticated methods for signal detection, but also on internal and external clinical expertise. Selected signals are also published in scientific journals to reach a broader audience such as the prescribers. In addition, our centre helps national pharmacovigilance centres to support safe use of medicines by offering training aligned with their needs. We get many training requests from WHO PIDM members and WHO regions. Our hands-on and web-based courses provide national centres with the technical knowhow and skills to strengthen their pharmacovigilance systems and practices. We also facilitate the sharing of PV insights and know-how globally using a variety of channels for information;for example, Uppsala Reports magazine and website, our podcast called Drug Safety Matters and our various social media channels. COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring is a top priority at UMC, and significant resources have been allocated to this. Our recent insights and experiences have enriched us and brought us even closer to our collaborating partners and we are better prepared for the next challenges.4.

World Englishes, EMI, and State-of-The-Art International English

"Lost in Citations” is an audio journal that was started in the spring of 2020 to create a platform for academics whose opportunities to contact other researchers in various fields had been curtailed by the restriction of the COVID-19 outbreak. What developed were a series of narratives based on the backgrounds of the interviewees and the interactions of their reports with subsequent interviewees. This chapter includes one of these narratives in relation to World Englishes, Global Englishes, English as an International Language, English as a medium of instruction, and other sociolinguistic concerns covered in six of our most popular interviews and how their contents link together to form a up-to-the-minute picture of the state of these interlinked fields of research. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.

Goshpods: Paediatric Educational Podcast Series from Great Ormond Street Hospital

Background Podcasts are a popular way to engage people in education. Flexibility and ease of accessibility are some of the key advantages of this media. In this oral presentation we describe the process of recording and publishing paediatric educational podcasts across several different platforms including our assurance processes to ensure content is accurate and up to date. Methods Subject matter experts (SME) for the MRCPCH release of GOSHPODS are senior clinicians at GOSH. The titles for this series of podcasts was chosen by alignment with the MRCPCH syllabus. A second SME reviewed each podcast's content. Podcasts were released across a multitude of platforms including Soundcloud Spotify Apple and GOSH Digital Education Network. Results From October 2020 to May 2021 the total numbers of podcast plays and starts was 1,928 across 35 countries. An average of 241 plays per month. The top three countries were the United Kingdom United States of America and Malaysia. A female audience predominated at 60%. The most popular listener age range was across 28-34 year olds. Ethics and Neurology streams were the most popular content and the most popular platform was Spotify. Discussion We have demonstrated the wide reach of GOSHPODS across 35 countries as a means to communicate education with listeners during the COVID-19 pandemic. The continued increase in listeners indicates a growing desire for educational materials in this format. The female predominance of our audience aligns with the current female predominance in the medical professions. Conclusion GOSHPODS have further enabled the GOSH Learning Academy to disseminate education globally and to a diverse audience. The next steps in progressing this project are to gain additional feedback on releases so as to continue to grow our audience and measure the effect on confidence in knowledge and application to clinical practice.

Saudi parents' perspective on the role of social media platforms in promoting parenting knowledge

The purpose of this research was to assess social media, and specifically a podcast entitled Consultation with Sarah, as a source for parents obtaining knowledge about children's development, and to consider the factors that influence the use of social media to acquire knowledge on parenting in Saudi Arabia. The questions inquired about sources of information Saudi parents perceive as beneficial for learning about parenting, and which factors, such as gender, age, number of children, marital status, education, and employment status, are related to knowledge seeking behaviors. The research questions also sought to understand if there was a difference reported by Saudi parents who use social media for parenting knowledge before the COVID-19 pandemic. The Using Social Media for Parental Knowledge Survey was distributed to 353 Saudi parents. A mixed method survey design was used, as the survey included both multiple choice and open-ended questions. SPSS was used for quantitative data analysis. Findings indicated websites and social media were the two most common sources parents utilized to obtain parenting information. Results also indicated there were differences in knowledge seeking or reported parental knowledge based on gender, age of parents, marital status, education level, and employment status. Findings also indicated there was a statistically significant difference in respondents' use of social media before COVID-19, although there was not a difference with regard to Consultation with Sarah. Finally, the results suggested listening to the Consultation with Sarah podcast made a significant difference in parenting knowledge, and there was a statistically significant difference reported by parents or caregivers who listened to the Consultation with Sarah podcast. The qualitative findings shed light on the reasonings behind the relationships. These findings may provide valuable information for parents, caregivers, podcast leaders, influencers, and educators.

Internet-based health communication opportunities (blogs, podcasts, video channels) and the social media / Internetalapú egészségkommunikációs lehetoségek (blogok, podcastok, videócsatornák) és a közösségi média.

Összefoglaló. Az elmúlt években mind laikus, mind szakmai oldalról az internet vált az elso számú egészségügyi információforrássá, amit a COVID-19-pandémia tovább fokozott. Az online térben számos, különbözo jellegu platform áll rendelkezésre egészségkommunikációs célokra, melyek markánsan különböznek egymástól az átadható információ mennyiségében és minoségében, a létrehozásukhoz szükséges anyagi vagy idobeli ráfordításban, továbbá az ott létrehozott tartalom fogyasztási lehetoségeiben. Összefoglaló közleményünkben rendszerezve mutatjuk be a szöveg-, a hang-, illetve a videóalapú online egészségügyi edukációs formák elonyeit és hátrányait. Külön foglalkozunk a közösségi média (social media) egészségügyi vonatkozásaival, a benne rejlo lehetoségekkel, kiemelve a pandémia kapcsán felmerült problémákat. Az egyes platformok egészségüggyel kapcsolatos történelmének feldolgozása mellett gyakorlati oldalról mutatjuk be azok hasznosíthatóságát, elosegítve ezzel az online térbe terelt kollégák munkáját. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(4): 132-139. Summary. In recent years, the internet has become the leading source of health-related information for both professionals and laymen, and this process has been further speeded up by the Covid-19 pandemic. There are many different platforms available for health communication purposes online, that vary greatly in the quantity and quality of transferable information; the time or financial input, which are necessary to create them; and the possibilities of the utilization of the created content. In our review, we present systematically the advantages and disadvantages of the text-, audio-, and video-based online health-related education platforms. We specify the health-related aspects of social media and its potential usability, focusing on the problems allied to the pandemic. We present the practical use of the different platforms from a healthcare perspective through the review of their respective histories, thus providing guidance to the colleagues working online.

Podcasting and constructive journalism in health stories about antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

COVID-19 showed the importance of trustworthy and accessible health information. News organisations increasingly introduced podcasting to keep their audiences informed. Podcasting's documented capacity for listener engagement makes it a pertinent medium to study another global public health threat – superbugs – through the lens of constructive journalism. Both constructive journalism and podcasting feature lived experiences of sources, in constructive journalism focused on empowering audiences to act. This practice-led research study is the first to explore how solutions-oriented journalism intersects with narrative podcasts. It demonstrates through the production of a podcast series about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), an affordance to tell complex and often scary health stories. It finds that podcasting can position individuals affected by AMR as sources of empowering information, rather than as victims. The study contributes new knowledge to constructive podcast journalism as an impactful approach in public health journalism, leveraging its potential to provide solutions to listeners and promote change. © The Author(s) 2023.

Chronicling Indonesian EFL students' engagement in podcast-based speaking activities in online learning milieu: A selfdetermination theory perspective

The abrupt shift of teaching and learning to the online mode due to the Covid-19 outbreak has inevitably called for technology integration to better engage students in online instruction. This call includes the possibility to enact podcast in an English as a foreign language (EFL) class, particularly in speaking. However, despite the increasing number of studies on the benefits of podcasting for language teaching and learning, little attention has been paid to EFL students' engagement in self-created podcast at the micro-level of instruction. Thus, this study aimed to fill this void by enquiring how students engage in podcast-based speaking activities and what drives their engagement. It involved 23 EFL students at a public university in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The data were gleaned from learning portfolios, oral reflections, and students' written narratives in sixteen sessions. The framework of engagement and self-determination theory were employed to carry out thematic analysis. The findings evince that, in general, the students disclosed positive behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement in a series of podcast based-speaking activities. More autonomy and competence-supportive learning environment and unbalanced relatednesssupportive learning environment were found to be the contributing factors of students' engagement. In addition to teachers' and students' factors, parents, families, and students' friends beyond the classroom appeared to be other social factors which might affect students' engagement. This study suggests three recommendations for improving podcast-based speaking classrooms in EFL practices. Some possible research topics for extended investigation are also suggested. © 2022 Khusnul Khotimah, Bambang Yudi Cahyono & Deisyi Anna Batunan

A randomized trial assessing the impact of educational podcasts on personal control and satisfaction during childbirth.

BACKGROUND: Childbirth education can help pregnant individuals feel in control, relieve anxiety and fear, and decrease pain perception. However, many barriers exist that impede patients from obtaining adequate childbirth education, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. Advances in technology, such as podcasts, can allow for asynchronous patient education. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the effect of a labor education podcast on personal perception of control and patient satisfaction during childbirth. STUDY DESIGN: This was a randomized controlled trial that included nulliparous, low-risk women with singleton gestations who reached 36 weeks' gestation at 2 academic hospitals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Participants were randomized at 28 weeks and 0 days of gestation to usual education (control) or podcast education (intervention), which included links to 7 labor-related podcast episodes on patient-suggested topics that were available on widely-used podcatchers. Primary outcomes were assessed with a 3-question birth satisfaction survey and the Labour Agentry Scale to evaluate personal perception of control during childbirth. Secondary outcomes included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score. Analyses were performed as intention-to-treat. Parametric and nonparametric data were compared using the Student t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test, as appropriate. RESULTS: A total of 201 women were randomized, and 153 were included in the final analysis (78 in podcast and 75 in control group). There were no significant differences in maternal demographics. Patients in the podcast group had higher median birth satisfaction scores compared with the control group (20 [18-21] vs 18 [16-21]; P=.002), without a significant difference in median Labour Agentry Scale scores (57 [50-63] vs 54 [47-62]; P=.12). When restricting analysis to patients who underwent induction, Labour Agentry Scale scores were significantly higher in the podcast group (58 [53-64] vs 54 [47-61]; P=.045), representing an increased perception of control. However, birth satisfaction score was not different between the groups (P=.06). The most downloaded podcasts were on induction and labor anesthesia. More than 95% of participants would recommend the podcasts to family and friends. CONCLUSION: An educational podcast on labor topics was well-received, increased patient satisfaction overall, and increased labor agentry among those who were induced. Podcasts are a promising educational modality to improve patient experience during childbirth, and warrant further exploration.

Pod Save IR: Podcasts as Effective Assignments in the International Relations Classroom

This paper discusses the development of a podcast assignment as an alternative to a literature review paper in the international studies classroom. A podcast assignment still enables students to read, evaluate, and synthesize research in a given field, but also allows them to meet other important educational objectives such as application of research to a real-world problem or setting, teamwork, problem-solving, feeling a part of an intellectual community, communication and digital media skills, engagement with the field and the material, and ability to communicate academic research to an interested nonexpert audience. The paper situates podcasts within the scholarship of active teaching and learning, and describes the rationale for the development of the assignment in a course on international political economy, in part to deal with issues arising from the COVID-19 disruption. It describes how the assignment was run and was evaluated, and provides the assignment task description and scoring rubric, as well as supporting materials and resources. Finally, the paper uses student postexperience surveys to gather indirect assessment data on the podcast assignment's effectiveness in achieving a range of educational objectives.

Online Podcast Production as Co‐Creation for Intercultural Participation in Neighbourhood Development

This article describes the usage of an online podcast workshop as an arts‐based research method to reflect on intercultural participation. The podcast workshop was co‐developed by researchers, local civil society actors, and administrative employees and deployed in a research infrastructure based on real‐world labs. We show how the online podcast workshop as a research tool elicits co‐creation with agonistic as well as communicative practices. The podcast combined practices of making with socially engaged research, using digital storytelling. It aimed at enhancing intercultural dialogue and participation and was used as an opportunity for voices that are not sufficiently represented in local public discourse on neighbourhood development to become recognised and challenge marginalisation. Based on one online podcast workshop, the article addresses new possibilities for collective and collaborative action during the Covid‐19 pandemic and frames the podcast as a moderated place for exchange and reflection in the digital space. The podcast workshop intended to foster further discussion on the topic of intercultural participation and was conceived as a tool for empowerment that participants can use for further conversations and exchange in their communities. © 2022 by the author(s).

MS-Selfie: a subscription-based online portal to assist people in the self-management of multiple sclerosis

Introduction: At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple sclerosis (MS) services had to be rapidly reconfigured due to healthcare staff being redeployed to frontline medical services. In addition, many non-urgent services, including MS services, had to be provided remotely. In response to the pandemic, many people with MS (pwMS) had little access to current, up-to-date information on COVID-19 and how to manage MS during the pandemic. In response to the unprecedented demand for information, I launched a new online question and answer portal called MS-Selfie, which has subsequently evolved into a self-management portal for pwMS. Objective(s): To present metrics of the use of MS-Selfie*, an MS self-management portal, and its evolution over the last two and half years. Aim(s): To introduce the wider MS community to the MS-Selfie self-management portal. Method(s): The MS-Selfie was originally configured to run Google sites and was transferred to Substack, a subscription-based platform, in June 2021. Substack provided online metrics. In addition, results of a user survey of 199 respondents, done between 29-11- 2021 and 31-12-2021, are presented. Result(s): As of the 18-May-2022, MS-Selfie has 6,448 email subscribers and 72,695 unique visitors to the substack site. An anonymous survey of users completed showed that 99.5% of users would recommend MS-Selfie to a friend or a colleague. 82% of respondents wanted only one or two newsletters per week. 78% wanted a podcast to accompany the newsletters, but not necessarily all of the time. 93% of respondents rated MS-Selfie as good, very good or exceptional. 92% of respondents felt there was a need for a formal MS self-management course;55% want an online course only, 44% want a hybrid course (online and face-2- face), and less than 1% want a face-2-face course only. 87% of users were satisfied with the funding model to support the MS-Selfie site. Conclusion(s): When faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, many people with MS turned to the internet for answers to their questions. Providing a real-time question and answer portal that has subsequently evolved into an MS self-management portal has identified an unmet need to educate pwMS on how to self-manage their MS.

Podcasting Library Services Post COVID-19 Pandemic Era: Its Potential and Challenges for Distant Learners

The study investigated the willingness of students to remotely tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries and the associated challenges. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The sample included 245 Adeleke University undergraduates. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that most patrons rarely use podcasts, with Spotify being the most popular among students. Students indicated that the campus news and information programme, library seminars, and user education would be their top choices for frequent listening. Students may be discouraged from utilizing library podcast programmes due to issues with internet access, a lack of finances to obtain data, and a time constraint. The study concluded that podcasts had potential for distant learners and that students would be ready to tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries, and therefore recommended that libraries in Nigeria begin to employ podcasts in airing library programmes and marketing library services.
