Podcasts For First Aid?

Here's an example of a free (sponsored) podcast for first aid I came across from Elliott Masie's Learning Trends:

2. First Aid Pods - Just in Time Performance Support: Here is a great illustration of using PodCasting for Performance Support. FirstAidPod has created some audio (and graphic enhanced) PodCasts that walk you throughhru emergency first aid procedures such as CPR. This is an intriguing use of PodCasts to mobile devices. Imagine being able to access a collection of 100 Emergency Procedures with step by step coaching.
Check it out at http://www.firstaidpod.com (Thanks to our colleague Keith Fieldhouse for this reference).

(You can subscribe to Learning Trends at the Masie Center.


This is another great example of portable performance support!

Of note, I saw my first iPOD on a golf course yesterday being sported by a near retired bus driver. He's not using podcasts yet but says he's very interested. Is podcasting close to becoming mainstream?
