This study examined student achievement when podcasts replaced traditional lectures in the mandatory technology course for all students. “Podcasts are a tool that assists students in their education, with numerous advantages in medical education.” Podcasts can be categorized by duration: short (1-5 minutes), moderate (6-15 minutes), and long (beyond 15 minutes). Short-duration podcasts are advantageous as they provide high-yield information efficiently and concisely. Subsequently, it analyzed the efforts of the podcast group and the obstacles to podcast utilization. Moreover, the students preferred using a computer and mobile device for downloading podcasts, which they predominantly listened to at home before the classroom presentation. They generally appreciated the podcasts and their duration, believing them to be effective enough for learning. They concurred that the podcasts were user-friendly but contended that they should not supplant lectures.
