Nursing education has evolved from traditional pedagogical models to current methods using technology for knowledge acquisition. Podcasting is one example of teaching methodology used in higher education. Studies demonstrate positive student satisfaction with podcasting, but there is limited data related to knowledge acquisition. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of podcasting on nursing student learning and satisfaction. Two classes of junior baccalaureate nursing students had scores on selected exam questions compared. The 2007 class (n=63) had select content presented in traditional lecture format where the 2008 class (n=57) had the same content presented via podcast. Both methods used the same faculty and exam questions. The 2008 class completed a satisfaction survey. Results indicated no significant difference in correct responses on exam questions. Exam scores were better with the first podcast, equal for the second, and worse with the third podcast. Students were overall satisfied with the podcasting experience and commented positively on its portability and flexibility. This study contributes to the knowledge base of podcasting effectiveness and raises the question of evaluation of new teaching methodologies. Must an increase in learning occur for new methods to be considered effective, or is positive student satisfaction adequate to encourage the adoption of new technology methods?
护理教育已经从传统的教学模式发展到当前使用技术获取知识的方法。播客就是高等教育中使用的一种教学方法。研究表明，学生对播客教学非常满意，但与知识获取相关的数据有限。本研究旨在探讨播客对护理学生学习和满意度的影响。比较了两个初级护理专业班级的学生在特定考试问题上的得分。2007 级（n=63）的部分内容以传统的讲座形式呈现，而 2008 级（n=57）的相同内容则通过播客呈现。两种方法都使用相同的教师和考试问题。2008 级的学生完成了一份满意度调查。结果表明，在考试问题的正确答案上没有显著差异。第一个播客的考试成绩更好，第二个播客的成绩相等，第三个播客的成绩更差。学生对播客体验总体满意，并对其便携性和灵活性给予了积极评价。本研究为播客效果的知识库做出了贡献，并提出了评估新教学方法的问题。新方法必须提高学习效果才能被认为有效，还是学生的满意度足以鼓励采用新技术方法？
