WWW - Structured Audio Podcasts via web text-to-speech system
Proceedings of the 19th international conference on World wide web - WWW '10, 2010Co-Authors: Giulio Mori, Maria Claudia Buzzi, Barbara LeporiniAbstract:Audio podcasting is increasingly present in the educational field and is especially appreciated as an ubiquitous/pervasive tool ("anywhere, anytime, at any pace") for acquiring or expanding knowledge. We designed and implemented a Web-based Text To Speech (TTS) system for automatic generation of a set of structured Audio Podcasts from a single text document. The system receives a document in input (doc, rtf, or txt), and in output provides a set of Audio files that reflect the document's internal structure (one mp3 file for each document section), ready to be downloaded on portable mp3 players. Structured Audio files are useful for everyone but are especially appreciated by blind users, who must explore content audially. Fully accessible for the blind, our system offers WAI-ARIA-based Web interfaces for easy navigation and interaction via screen reader and voice synthesizer, and produces a set of accessible Audio files for Rockbox mp3 players (mp3 and talk files), allowing blind users to also listen to naturally spoken file names (instead of their spelled-out strings). In this demo, we will show how the system works when a user interacts via screen reader and voice synthesizer, showing the interaction with both our Web-based system and with an mp3 player.

mathematical Audio Podcasts for teacher education and school
Teachers and Curriculum, 2017Co-Authors: Christof Schreiber, Rebecca KloseAbstract:Audio-Podcasts offer notable opportunities for oral representation of mathematical content through digital media—not only for teacher education but also in primary schools. This article deals with the process of creating such Podcasts, as well as their uses in schools, university teaching and research. We allow for various learning groups—which are made up of university students or school students—to create Audio Podcasts, either at German universities or schools, for the purpose of strengthening understanding of various mathematical topics. For this endeavour, learners only need a mobile recording device (i.e., smartphone or tablet). Often, learners can even use personal devices for both recording and research of the given topic (BYOD).

the use of artifacts and different representations by producing mathematical Audio Podcasts
CERME 10, 2017Co-Authors: Christof Schreiber, Rebecca KloseAbstract:This paper focuses on the role of artifacts and different forms and modes of representation when learning mathematics at primary school level. This will be exemplified alongside the use of an interactive approach, in which mathematical Audio-Podcasts are produced. Audio-Podcasts are a communication tool that generally focuses on oral means of representation. During the production process of mathematical Audio-Podcasts however, the students use different forms and modes of representation as well as produce and use different artifacts. With regard to this, field experiences will be shared.

Use and development of mathematical language in bilingual learning settings
2015Co-Authors: Rebecca KloseAbstract:Bilingual forms of teaching and learning have become common practice in Germany. However, the idea of teaching mathematics bilingually has not been totally accepted yet. The ongoing study aims to investigate how young learners taught bilingually use and develop mathematical language in both of their target languages, with a focus on the usefulness of the communication tool PriMaPodcast. Parts of the research project and the interactive process of producing mathematical Audio Podcasts are presented.

a randomized controlled trial comparing efficacy and user satisfaction of Audio Podcasts versus a traditional lecture on multiple sclerosis in family medicine resident education p4 195
Neurology, 2015Co-Authors: Tyson B Brust, Lara Cooke, Michael YeungAbstract:OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and user satisfaction of Podcasts versus a traditional lecture in resident education. BACKGROUND: Podcasting technology has been increasingly adopted to enhance health education. Advantages include low implementation costs, positive user experiences, and effectiveness at meeting educational goals. We previously conducted a needs assessment survey amongst family medicine residents (n=77) and showed that 84[percnt] of family medicine residents indicated that they were either “very interested” or “somewhat interested” in listening to neurology Podcasts. DESIGN/METHODS: In the current study, we randomized 2nd year family medicine residents (n=49) to either attend a formal lecture (n=25) or to listen to two Podcasts (n=24) on multiple sclerosis. We used pre- and post-test scores of an exam marked by a blinded adjudicator to assess efficacy, and a 5-point Likert scale to assess satisfaction. RESULTS: There was low baseline knowledge about multiple sclerosis in both groups (the lecture group pre-test mean score was 13.9±3.2*/80 and the podcast group pre-test mean score was 16.9±3.2/80; P=0.20). Both groups improved significantly following the intervention, but the podcast group appeared to improve more as measured by the mean post-test scores (the lecture group improved by 41.7±1.6 to 55.7±4.2/80 and the podcast group improved by 49.8±1.5 to 66.7±2.6/80; P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the user satisfaction between the lecture and the podcast on a 5-pt Likert scale (4.45±0.44 in the lecture group versus 4.19±0.35 in the podcast group; P=0.37). The greater improvement on post-test scores in the podcast group was unexpected and may have been due to slower pacing in the podcast. In the podcast group, 100[percnt] were either “very interested” or “somewhat interested” in listening to further neurology Podcasts. CONCLUSION: Overall our study demonstrates that Podcasts are an effective tool in medical education with similar efficacy and user satisfaction to traditional lectures. *95[percnt] CI Disclosure: Dr. Brust has nothing to disclose.
