Core Activity 8.3: Communicating to an audience (2)


·                Sound quality – Professional, Music intro behind, conversational interview between interviewee and presenter.  Good constant sound levels.  Good voice. Presenter voice occasionally sounds computer based.
·                Broadcast quality – Very well constructed, though conversational.  Clearly spoken. Little background noise.
·                Suitability –Conversational approach, provides background to where Moodle came from and why Open Source should be used.  
·                Length – Appropriate, remained interested throughout and I didn’t get bored I did however find myself doing Ironing while listening.  The conversational style made it eay listening.  
·                Interest – Yes.  The podcast covered a variety of issues which were interlinked. It became clear that it was quite dated.
·                Academic quality – Opinion based, however as the interviewee is central to Moodle development it is authoritative.
·                Suggestions for improvement – A guard on the microphone would remove the occasional distraction.  
·                Suggestions for use – This is a ‘why and wherefore’ podcast.  It provides a useful history of Moodle, and the thinking behind it, it isn’t necessarily for enhancing skills.  It is an infomercial for want of a better term.
