　SkillSoup was created by Dr Megan Poore from the Academic Skills and Learning Centre (ASLC) at ANU in February as a means of using new technology to reach technology-savvy young people, or “digital natives”.

Each week, Dr Poore and her student co-host Darian Williams chat with academics, general staff members and select students about various aspects of studying at a tertiary level.

“We at the ASLC know the right questions to ask because we see students all day, every day,” Dr Poore said. “Then we’ve got a real live human being creating an answer that’s relevant to an issue, and one that’s based on that person’s tremendous knowledge and experience.”

SkillSoup was named Best Educational Podcast in the Higher Education Category by Fordham University’s Podcast for Teachers, which is a respected program for people interested in digital education that is listened to around the world.

The judges praised the podcast for its effectiveness in addressing educational objectives, understanding and addressing its audience, demonstrating creativity and being in a form that could easily be adapted by other educators.

“[This is] an amazing production,” judge Kathy King said. “These are teaching skills, these are student learning skills, and what they [the SkillSoup team] are really working towards are the adult learning skills”

Dr Poore said that SkillSoup provides students with access to the experience of academics that they might otherwise never encounter in their particular degree programs.
