Knowledge, Learning, Community

People who follow my work know how much I love podcasts. Audio is such a flexible medium; it can be delivered at relatively low bandwidth, can be listened to while doing other things (especially driving or cycling), and can take any number of forms: drama, discussion, lecture, documentary, whatever. The audio resource described here uses a murder mystery formal to introduce Taylorism as a management principle. But the bulk of the paper is devoted to discussing podcasting in decentralized learning environments and the effectiveness of podcasting as a learning tool. It's a short read (9 page PDF) and well suited to introducing the concept to management and executives.
