由于像iPod这样的便携式音乐播放器变得非常流行，学习者更有动力通过使用这些工具来学习一门外语。有时，在教室外或家里没有互联网服务的地方使用PC会很不方便。播客系统是一个非常有效的工具，因为它自动通过无线局域网将数字素材发送给他们的播放器。我们的项目说明了该系统对学习者的有效性。与日本普遍使用的共享WBT相比，本文认为我们机构引入的播客系统作为语言学习的辅助工具对学习者来说并不是很坏。在问卷调查的基础上，本文得出的结论是，与更多功能更多、成本更高的基于PC的高级学习管理系统相比，该系统的服务质量和可用性都超过了正常水平。
Since portable music players like iPod are becoming very popular, learners are more motivated to study a foreign language with the use of such tools. Sometimes PCs are inconvenient when used out side the classroom or their home where there is no internet service. Podcasting system is a very effective tool because it automatically sends digital materials to their players via wireless LAN. Our project illustrates how effective the system can be for learners. Compared with general popular shared WBT used in Japan, this paper suggests that the podcasting system introduced in our institution is not very bad for learners as supplementary tools for language learning. On the basis of the questionnaire, this paper concludes that the system serves more than the normal level of satisfaction compared with more high-level PC based learning management systems with much more functions and “costs” in terms of their sound quality and the usefulness of the system.
