The integration of podcasts in an open distance e-learning environment can play a crucial role in reducing transactional distance through providing quality educational opportunities and access to information through any digital devise. However, technology does not improve teaching, unless if there is a well-conceived educational process taking place. The question therefore is how lecturers can be guided towards the quality use of podcasts in order to achieve most of the learning objectives. Therefore, this paper aims to design and develop a framework that manages the quality use of podcasts for teaching and learning in ODeL environments. Using literature review, a developmental qualitative research design was used to develop a framework. McGarr’s (2009) and the revised Bloom’s taxonomy (Anderson et al., 2001) were used as domain specific guiders in the development of the framework. Results provided a framework to guide academic developers, learning technologists and course designers interested in quality in online environments.

开发一个框架来管理开放距离和电子学习环境中播客的质量使用

通过提供高质量的教育机会和通过任何数字设备访问信息，播客在开放式远程电子学习环境中的集成可以在减少交易距离方面发挥关键作用。但是，除非进行了周密的教育，否则技术不会改善教学。因此，问题是如何指导讲师提高播客的使用质量，以实现大多数学习目标。因此，本文旨在设计和开发一个框架，以管理在ODeL环境中进行教学的播客的质量使用。通过文献综述，使用了发展性的定性研究设计来开发框架。McGarr（2009）和经修订的Bloom的分类法（Anderson等，（2001年）用作框架开发中的领域特定指南。结果提供了一个框架，以指导对在线环境中的质量感兴趣的学术开发人员，学习技术人员和课程设计人员。
