This paper reflects on the emerging findings of a small-scale project which evaluated the use of podcast lectures in a Strategic Management module. The project is set in a context of improving access to learning for a diverse group of full-time on-campus international postgraduate students. It reports student perspectives on podcast lecture materials as a substitute to face-to-face lecturing. The paper concludes with reflections on the use of podcasts in the Business and Management curriculum within a shift from a didactic to a resource-based pedagogy.
