Podcasts--an adjunct to the teaching of dentistry.
The aim of this study was to evaluate how clinical students reacted to the use of Podcasts for undergraduate teaching. The most popular way of listening to them was on a computer. Students scored highly the subject matter of the Podcasts and used them for learning around the subject, especially during examination time. Podcasts are a valuable vehicle for delivering learning materials to students: offering flexibility but in tune with students' love of downloading materials to use when they wish.
