Podcast = Email?

[DavidSpears]

Announcements - Podcast - what is this? Does it mean the system will send out an email to all enrolled students? If so, why don't you say that? Why call it a "podcast"?

Hi @DavidSpears,

I do not have a specific answer for you because I do not know of any faculty at my institution that are actively using podcasts for either announcements or discussions (they are closely related to each other).

What I can say is that institutions have guides available on how it could be used:

1. Princeton University at https://mcgrawect.princeton.edu/guides/Podcast%20Feeds%20in%20Canvas.pdf
2. University of Pittsburgh at https://teaching.pitt.edu/resources/how-to-start-and-manage-canvas-course-discussion-boards
