تی شرت، مهتاب، و کالبد شکافی: استفاده از پادکست ها برای درگیر کردن دانشجویان در مقطع کارشناسی اقتصاد خرد

This paper assesses the use of podcasts as the focus of required assignments in an introductory microeconomic course. Professionally-produced, economics-themed podcasts are introduced as a medium for supplementing traditional course material, rather than as a venue for replication of course lectures. A student self-assessment survey is used to assess the effectiveness of a variety of podcast-related assignments. The survey finds that a large majority of students find this use of podcasts helps them to understand economic concepts and how economics is relevant to the world.
