Abstract: Approximately 35 percent of university undergraduate students are enrolled in large-enrollment courses. A group the country’s higher education leaders met in 1999 to discuss redesigning these courses for improved learning outcomes at a reduced cost through technology as these courses impact institutions as a whole. ICS 101, a large-enrollment course, has been redesigned to account for many of issues of large-enrollment courses. However, research has not been conducted to determine if the redesign of the course, utilizing the podcasting technology, improved the perceptions of the students. The researcher found that the students had positive perceptions of podcasting as a mode of lecture content delivery through a course survey, interview with the course instructor, and a group interview with the teaching assistants for the course. However, the amount of content learned was questioned as students reported learning less through an auditory only mode of instruction.
