What kind of content should you include in your LMS language course podcast? Choosing interesting material is a subjective task, since everyone has a different concept of what's actually interesting. However, it's the way in which you present the information that makes or breaks your podcast.
Coggno is now offering a free trial for online course creators on its learning management system. Create an online course for free, either for internal use, Coggno's E-learning Marketplace, or for outside syndication on hundreds of websites.
Keep in mind that interesting audio information--especially for language podcasts--is that which varies in texture and tone. Speak slowly, and keep the tone light and fun.
Intersperse music, pieces of interviews, sound bites, etc. throughout your podcast. This is a great way to lend it texture and continuity. Additionally, your dialogue should sound conversational, and the listener should feel like the podcaster is speaking directly to him or her rather than reading from a script. You can also record interviews and discussions, or include clips of these kinds of dialogues to include in the LMS course.
