Core Activity 8.3: Communicating to an audience


·                Sound quality –Adequate, breathy on occasions, good constant sound levels.  Good voice.
·                Broadcast quality –Very well constructed, clearly spoken. Little background noise.
·                Suitability – Very much so, possibly a little low but moves from simple to complex as required. Occasionally goes ‘off piste’ with personal experience. This however adds an additional dimension to the podcast.
·                Length – Appropriate, remained interested throughout and I didn’t get bored.
·                Interest – Yes.  The podcast covered a variety of issues which were interlinked.  Additionally the personal touch was good.
·                Academic quality – A little opinion, supported by academic research. Outlines the pedagogical thinking behind Podcasts and Blogging.
·                Suggestions for improvement – A guard on the microphone would remove the occasional distraction.
