In April I wrote about the University of Otago Podcasting service and iTunes U, but what is interesting is how the use of podcasting has grown since its inception (2007). The graph above shows the number of downloads each day since 2007 – this year the start of first semester is shown very clearly but a marked increase in downloads.
A few quick stats
- Number of classes using podcasting – 50 classes – Semester 1 2009 (39 classes – 2008, 1 class – 2007)
- Most downloads for one class – 34,334 downloads
- Busiest month – May 2009 – 46,790 downloads
- Most downloads for one podcast – 3,172 downloads
If you wish to investigate podcasting for your class contact the ITS Helpdesk (helpdesk@otago.ac.nz).
