Abstract
This paper explores one attempt to integrate podcasts into the teaching of US foreign policy. It highlights how this initiative provided new and stimulating opportunities for learning but also presented a number of challenges. Three main elements run through the paper. First, we outline the pilot project, its pedagogic background and what we did. Examples of a social bookmarking site, student podcasts and lecturer podcasts can be accessed via a blog. The second element, utilising student surveys and student focus groups, describes the positive and negative experiences of the students who took part. The third element discusses the practical problems encountered in putting the pilot into practice and how these were overcome.
