In our interconnected world, it is evermore important for educators to not only utilize communication technologies in the classroom but to evaluate students. This presentation addresses how to use visually enhanced podcasting in a history course as an assignment that assists in preparing students for tomorrow’s world. Visually enhanced pocasting is a pedagogic technique that points away from a teacher-centered education by combining audio with film and multi-media images in a single assignment. As a multi-media assignment, podcasting is ideally suited for learning history. I discuss the basic construction of a visually enhanced podcast and focus on two types (i.e., power point and non-power point) that I have assigned to history students. I examine these assignments’ role in student evaluation and how they encourage students to explore their mental “toolboxes” prior to complex decision making in the post-college environment.
