The premise of using discussion as an evaluative tool stems from a podcast that was shared at George Lucas's digital magazine called "Edutopia." The study I was drawn to explained why the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education is ranked as the number one school in the nation because of their use of podcasts as an evaluative tool for training their student teachers. Upon further investigation into exactly how the University of Virginia is using podcasts as a measurement revealed that their study is a part of a $10 million grant focusing on high-quality teaching using video and the latest technology.

How are podcasts used for education and training purposes? What statistics are available which show a direct correlation between the use of podcasts and increased adult productivity? Hopefully, I will be able to locate research that will substantiate my hypothesis that adult discussions can be used as a type of measurement for professional development purposes.
