Podcasts as a Tool for Learning during the Pandemic

Rahmi Nuraini

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred from 2020 to 2022 has caused enormous changes in various sectors of people's lives, one of which is the education sector. During the pandemic, educational institutions and teachers innovated in delivering learning materials, one of which was by using audio-based technology, namely podcasts. This research was conducted using a systematic literature review of 9 selected journal articles from the Scopus database, with the result that podcasts are useful as a technology-based learning tool in distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Podcasts were chosen because of the various advantages they offer, ranging from flexibility, ease of access, affordable production costs, can be heard anywhere and anytime, as well as emphasis on personalization of learning through tone of voice and intonation, providing more detailed information in the form of narratives, and learning materials that cannot be conveyed properly through writing or face-to-face meetings.
