Anne's thoughts seem to make a lot of sense. I wonder if there is some way to track how many times a podcasts is downloaded from your site. I don't know how to do that but maybe someone in the TLC at UB might have an idea. That way you would get a better idea of how useful the podcasts have really been.

I think that your podcasting efforts are worthwhile. In addition to some students being more comfortable listening than reading there are bound to be some who are more willing to download a file than actually come to your office or call you with a question. I like to think of podcasts as a way to cover the things you find yourself explaining every single day (How do I register for classes? How do I change my major? How do I apply for graduation?). Even if you cover a topic during an appointment you can always refer students to the podcast so that when they forget what you told them they can re-hear it :)
