Abstract

A Podcast is an audio-file (mostly in MP3 file format), which can be downloaded from the Internet – in a nutshell you can say “Radio to go”. Especially for the use in Teaching, Practice and Advice Podcasts are an usefull medium. The Weihenstephan Research Centre for Horticulture at the University of Applied Science Weihenstephan-Triesdorf offers since July of 2008 for the Topic of “Crop Protection in Horticulture” a weekly Podcast (http://www.podcast.fagw.info) that is not only used by students. Every month about 3000 lessons are heared or downloaded from the website of the 80 units available presently. The use of Podcast as an element of Teaching will be approved according to a survey at the University of Applied Science Weihenstephan-Triesdorf and some horticulture-schools. Podcasts will also be an important part in blended learning, where face-to-face lessons with computer-mediated content are combined.
