Elva Lee Fisher | Using Podcasts with AI Tools to Promote Reflective and Experiential Learning at No Cost
Research shows that podcasts can enhance engagement and
reflective learning in higher education (Kay, 2012; McGarr, 2021). This session
demonstrates how to combine podcasts with AI tools such as ChatGPT and
Claude.AI to move students from listening to doin, at no additional cost.
Using a case study from The Comms Major Podcast (co-hosted
by the presenter), participants will explore how transcripts, guided prompts,
and AI support can be adapted into high-impact, podcast-based experiential
learning activities. Attendees will leave with practical tips, examples, and
strategies for efficiently and effectively integrating podcasts with AI to
promote students’ critical reflection and experiential learning.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Explain
the evidence for podcasts as a teaching and learning tool.
2. Identify
strategies for creating reflective and experiential activities from podcast
content.
3. Apply
AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude.AI) to design low-cost, high-impact,
podcast-related activities.
