Why does NetSpeed Fast Tracks use podcasting and social networking as a way to deliver learning content?
Podcasting is rapidly becoming a powerful learning tool, one that allows organizations to supplement their existing learning resources. Neurological research has found that people tend to retain what they hear five times longer than what they see. At NetSpeed Fast Tracks, we combine the power of podcasting with the benefits of visual stimulation through the use of avatars. We have created a rich learning environment that engages auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners. Users may read the text of the podspots, select specific articles, and may also create Community PodSpots to share their knowledge with others.
