Welcome
to Insight Solutions Podcast Service A
podcast is a multimedia file that is distributed (either paid or unpaid) over
the Internet for playback on Mobile devices or personal computers. Podcasts can
be played using a media player on your PC or mobile device such as MP3, iPOD or
mobile phone. Think
of a podcast as a information source that you can be listened to by anybody in
your organisation at a time or location that suits them. Once a podcat has been
downloaded you can listen to it as many times for as long as you like. | Podcast

A list
of Podcasts is availbale using an RSS Feed. RSS is commonly known as a syndication
feed and requires an special browser called an aggregator. Aggregators reduce
the time and effort needed to regularly check websites for updates, creating a
unique information space or "personal newspaper." Once subscribed to
a feed, an aggregator is able to check for new content at user-determined intervals
and retrieve the update. The content is sometimes described as being "pulled"
to the subscriber, as opposed to "pushed" with email or IM. Unlike recipients
of some "pushed" information, the aggregator user can easily unsubscribe
from a feed. Aggregators are built into some web browsers (IE7 (Currently Not
compatible with NHS Choose and Book or Spine connectivity - Check with your system
supplier before upgrading to this) or Firefox 2), as an add-on (IE6 or Firefox
1.5), using a reader (Bloglines,
Newsgator, My
Yahoo or Google)
or using software (iTunes,
Newsgator or
Rssreader). The Aggregators
listed are a few of those available (Click here
for list of others available) and as such we do not endorse any so please make
your own decision whether to use or not. Further information on using RSS can
be found by clicking here.
