BACKGROUND Students regard biological science as one of the most difficult components of the nursing curriculum. However, a good understanding of this area is essential for effective nursing practice. The aim of this study was to explore nursing students' perceptions of the usefulness of supplementary biology podcasts for their learning. METHODS Biological science podcasts (n=9) were made ava...

The huge explosion of the amount of information on the web makes it difficult for online students to find specific information with a specific media format unless a prior analysis has been made. In this paper, we present a comparison study between Generic and Metadata Search engines in a multimedia repository of lectures. Both Search engines were modified to index text, powerpoint, audio, video...

The purpose of this article was to provide a comprehensive review of research on video podcasts from 2002 to 2011 in order to guide future studies and educational practice. Fifty-three, peer-reviewed articles were selected from an extensive search of the literature. Key topics included the history and growth of video podcasts, types of podcasts, previous literature reviews, benefits and challen...

In this paper, we urge practitioners to consider the potential of podcasting for teaching, learning and assessment. Our perspective is drawn from research on IMPALA (Informal Mobile Podcasting And Learning Adaptation), which showed that there is a range of successful podcasting approaches for students on campus. After briefly surveying the background literature, we provide examples of three app...

Nanostructure-Initiator Mass Spectrometry (NIMS) is a matrix-free desorption/ionization approach that is particularly well-suited for unbiased (untargeted) metabolomics. An overview of the NIMS technology and its application in the detection of biofluid and tissue metabolites are presented. (To listen to a podcast about this feature, please go to the Analytical Chemistry multimedia page at pubs...

In this CME podcast, listen to experts discuss the case of Mrs J, an elderly woman with a history of depression. She has reported insomnia and has requested a benzodiazepine to help her sleep. Although she claims that her depressed mood is well controlled, her husband reports differently. The experts review her treatment options, taking into account both her symptoms and her age.

This paper presents an approach to generate audio based learning material dynamically from web pages for m-Learning usage. It introduces Pediaphon (an audio interface to the free Wikipedia online encyclopedia) as an example application for microlearning. The effective generation and the deployment of the audio data to the user via podcast or progressive download (pseudo streaming) are covered.
