Podcasting Social Work: Committed to Innovate<br />
and Revolutionize Teaching & Learning<br />
Centennial College has a strong mandate for using<br />
technology in teaching and learning in order to<br />
educate students for career success. Dr. Hasan<br />
Mahbub recently launched an innovative podcasting<br />
project to do just that for his students in the Social<br />
Service Worker program. Entitled “Podcast for<br />
Effective Teaching and Learning”, Hasan initiated<br />
this project as part of his new faculty orientation.<br />
As an educator, Hasan is very passionate about using<br />
technology in his teaching, and found that podcasting<br />
has become an important learning and teaching tool,<br />
especially in a higher education environment. Hasan<br />
explained, “It’s an opportunity to learn something new<br />
in the area of teaching and learning that will benefit<br />
educators, learners, and the wider community”.<br />
The project has been beneficial to both Hasan and<br />
students, allowing Hasan to become more innovative<br />
and to think out of the box, while students have<br />
become familiar with the technological set-up, relevant<br />
apps and editing skills.<br />
When he began the eight-week project in January<br />
<strong>2019</strong>, he established a podcast focused on issues,<br />
social work practices, and teaching pedagogy with the<br />
following objectives:<br />
1. To develop knowledge about podcasts,<br />
especially how to use various types of<br />
podcasts for effective teaching and learning;<br />
2. To develop moderation and technical skills<br />
for creating a podcast;<br />
3. To identify and utilize resources for creating<br />
a podcast; and,<br />
4. To create a 15- 20 minute podcast by<br />
