eLearning Podcasts For Professionals
There are a thousand apps available on the internet that you could use to listen to podcasts. You can find podcasts on any topic ranging from news, health, tech, comedy, politics, sports, music, eLearning, productivity, spirituality, and more.
If you are looking for reasons why podcasts should be worth your time, here are some:
1. They Are Inspiring
Is there a topic or an activity you are passionate about but you don’t have the motivation to get started? There is a good chance that you could find a podcast that would motivate you into getting started.
2. They Inform And Educate
You can learn anything within your area of interest by listening to podcasts. The possibilities of what you can learn are endless.
3. They Optimize Your Time
You can listen to podcasts anywhere and anytime. You can listen while driving, working out, or even while eating. All you need are good headphones and your downloaded podcast and you are good to go.
Most eLearning professionals are very busy and do not have a lot of time on their hands to keep up with the changes that occur in the industry. This is the reason why I have searched the internet for the best podcasts on Learning Management Systems[1] for both professionals and beginners alike.
