Scholarly and practitioner interest in educational/pedagogical podcasts has been evident
in many areas of educational praxis since 2007; however, we have seen relatively little attention
to podcast pedagogy in LIS, despite the field’s role as an early adopter of media-making
pedagogies. We see podcasts as a means of extending learning beyond our immediate environs
by connecting with others, either across the globe or from the reaches of the archives. We will
offer a discussion of varied collaborative frameworks that can support podcasting as a
pedagogical praxis. The panelists have done research and developed podcasts in multiple
courses and grant-funded, open-source settings. This range of experiences and learning
environments enables the panel to make recommendations to instructors who want to bring new
media (and new voices) into their classrooms, giving attention to both risks and rewards. Our
panel will discuss developing podcasts as open-source learning resources and as community
engagement assignments that challenge students to develop technology- and listening- based
skills. Based on interdisciplinary theories and experience, this panel identifies emergent best
practices for using podcasting in conjunction with instruction and learning. During this panel,
we envision time for information sharing and discussion
