Video Podcast

Research, Discuss, and Share Insights

Create an engaging video podcast that explores a chosen topic, presents evidence-based insights, and communicates ideas clearly to your audience. Enhance research, collaboration, and media presentation skills while producing professional content.

What is the Activity?

The Video Podcast is a collaborative group activity where participants create a short video episode focused on a specific topic such as Current Events, Technology Trends, Industry Analysis, or Educational Insights. Students select a podcast format, Interview, Panel Discussion, Storytelling, or Monologue, and plan content according to the chosen length: Short, Medium, or Long

The activity emphasizes structured content delivery with three main sections: Introduction, Main Discussion, and Conclusion. During the Main Discussion, students present research findings using statistical data, case studies, expert interviews, or literature insights. The podcast integrates audio and visual elements, such as background music, slides, or images, to maintain audience engagement and enhance understanding.

Students also incorporate a call-to-action at the end, encouraging the audience to subscribe, share, comment, or explore additional resources. This ensures the podcast not only informs but also engages and builds interaction with the target audience.

The activity develops skills in research synthesis, scriptwriting, clear communication, technical recording, and collaborative teamwork, allowing students to translate complex information into accessible, engaging content.
