This Exemplar will create reusable and multi-purpose learning materials, evaluate both the process and technology for creating and delivering accessible podcasts, and encourage the wider use of podcasts in learning and teaching in the historical disciplines.

The podcasts produced for this Exemplar will be aimed at integrating archaeological sites and material culture into the curriculum, and at developing skills in handling and interpreting objects, iconography and site topography. Three separate case studies will be produced: the archaeological sites and monuments of Greece; explaining Egyptian iconography through a focus on the 21st Dynasty wooden coffin in Swansea University's Egypt Centre; and podcasting by staff and students on their ‘favourite pieces' in the Egypt Centre or the Swansea Museum. The project will help to develop students' personal reflection on material culture and archaeological sites. It will, additionally, contribute to widening participation by providing interpretive material for use in the Egypt Centre.
