Podcast Review
THE (PARTICULARLY) GOOD-- what works?
THE BAD-ineffective
THE REALLY UGLY-more hassle than they’re worth
Concisely covered revision topics with clear narrative, pictures, graphs, diagrams.
Many too long, monotonous and hard work.
Those that wont load/take too long/ keep freezing etc
A clinical case e.g. patient describing symptoms with narrated approaches to cases/thought process/summary questions
Poor quality visuals worse than no visuals
Videos of lecturer with no added slides/visual information. Might as well be podcast.
Anatomy narrative with specimens Non-specific titles and lack of
topic overviews.
Randomly inserted slides just for the sake of it with no added value.
Ultrasonography/radiology/microscopy/fundic examination slides with interpretation narrative and cursor directing.
Unexplained or mistimed graphs, diagrams etc
Those that try to pitch at multiple audiences-confusing.
