Abstract
Literacy professionals expect effective preparation in online courses, but teacher-educators struggle to include vast content during abbreviated semesters. To provide core literacy content using universally designed presentations, teacher-educators developed and tested the efficacy of content acquisition podcasts (CAPs). CAPs deliver critical information through strategically designed videos, made with Microsoft PowerPoint software. Studies reported moderate effect sizes, as literacy professionals significantly improved foundational knowledge, instructional skills, and strategy application. This chapter surveyed CAP research and described how one online course embedded CAPs, which resulted in participants' effectively developing and implementing literacy intervention plans. Recommendations for teacher-educators and researchers were presented.
