Abstract

The chapter aims to investigate the use of podcasting as a means of facilitating learner-generated content in hospitality management at post-graduate level. The research aimed to instigate critical skills development at this postgraduate level, which has been used in delivery at University of Wolverhampton, UK for two years, and addresses a gap in knowledge. Learner generated content is an innovation in this field, where students create ‘learning objects’ to share with their peer group and tutors. Theoretical perspectives of this technique are explored in the chapter and used to analyse the student experiences of generating a “mockcast” for a new gastronomic concept in a post-graduate hospitality management course. The chapter initially reviews podcasting technologies influence in education, before analysing and discussing the use of learner generated content in hospitality and the wider tourism and leisure subjects.
