The videocast is a concept closely related to the podcast, with the difference that it incorporates the visual part into the audio. They are usually short video productions in mp4 format which can be downloaded or streamed. The videocast is a very useful tool for creative work in the academic environment and allows a complete multimedia experience for students.
Both resources are not only a means of scientific dissemination, but also an innovative pedagogical medium, encouraging more active student participation in the teaching and learning process and stimulating critical thinking.
