Investigating Assigned Listenings as a Classroom Tool: Student perspectives on podcasts in university classrooms

It's no secret weekly reading assignments are a core component of most university courses. But could listening to podcasts act as another option?

In this episode, we're exploring how listening to podcasts could become an alternative to weekly reading assignments in university classrooms.

CPI co-director Meg Wilcox and associate producer Kelsea Arnett sit down with Mount Royal University Journalism and Digital Media students, Emma Miller, Sean Gillanders and Ava Free to discuss whether they feel assigned listenings influence their learning.

Meg also breaks down her current research on the potential effectiveness of listening versus reading assignments.
