La baladodiffusion est ainsi utilisée comme outil à potentiel cognitif, parce qu'elle permet, relativement facilement, de diffuser un contenu audio ou vidéo qui peut, par la suite, être écouté ou vu à tout moment par l'apprenant. Par ailleurs, les responsables du projet rappellent que les étudiants l'utilisent également pour écouter des balados de chroniques audio comme celles de The New England Journal of Medicine, une des plus importantes revues en médecine au monde.

2011, Christian Depover, Thierry Karsenti, Enseigner avec les technologies: Favoriser les apprentissages, développer des compétences, PUQ, →ISBN:

Parmi celles-ci, la baladodiffusion ou podcasting s'est très rapidement développée au cours de ces dernières années en présentant des caractéristiques prometteuses pour la diffusion de contenu multimédia sur différents supports. Le podcasting (diffusion mobile de contenus audio et audio-vidéo) a récemment émergé comme un outil important de la technologie de l'information à destination des professionnels de l'information, de la communication et de l'enseignement numérisé.

appel du vide

1970, Gilbert La Rocque, Le Nombril (Montréal : Éditions du jour) p. 33

(please add an English translation of this quotation)

... un jour qu'il s'était penché sur l'appui comme pour se persuader qu'il n’y avait rien à voir là, il avait senti tourner dans sa tête un monstrueux remous, l’incommensurable appel du vide, et il avait compris avec un frisson d’horreur que rien, absolument rien ne l’'empêchait véritablement de se précipiter tête première dans cet irréparable qui le fascinait, rien, et il avait dû fermer les yeux, puis il s'était vivement jeté en arrière, ses jambes tremblaient sous lui, jamais il ne s'était senti plus vivant ...

«Le rayon lumineux qui montait d’en bas directement tirait vers l’abîme le poids de son corps. Il lui semblait que le sol de la place oscillante s'élevait le long des murs, et que le plancher s’inclinait par le bout, à la manière d’un vaisseau qui tangue. Elle se tenait tout au bord, presque suspendue, entourée d’un grand espace. Le bleu du ciel lenvahissait, l’air circulait dans sa tête creuse, elle n’avait qu’à céder, qu’à se laisser prendre.»

1972 Jean Pierre Duquette, Flaubert, ou L'architecture du vide; une lecture de L'éducation sentimentale (Presses de l'Université de Montréal) →ISBN p. 78

Ce vertige est plus que le seul appel du vide physique, alors que la mort apparaît à ce moment comme un acquiescement, et se confond dans l'esprit du personnage avec le bonheur.

2015 Raphaëlle Giordano, Ta deuxième vie commence quand tu comprends que tu n’en as qu’une (Paris : Eyrolles) →ISBN p.55

Je ne lâchai pas le bras de Claude pendant toute l’ascension qui se fit sans à-coups ou presque. Finalement, je fus surprise de voir que j’avais moins le vertige que je ne le pensais. Je ressentis bien un léger appel du vide, une sécheresse dans la bouche et les mains tremblantes, mais j’étais là et je gérais.

2015 Francine Ruel Petite mort à Venise (Montréal : Libre expression) →ISBN p. 14

Elle se sentait nauséeuse. Comme si, debout sur le bord d’un précipice, elle avait à choisir, à cet instant précis, entre se laisser tomber vers l’avant ou bien trouver l’énergie pour faire quelques pas vers l’arrière pour ne plus sentir cet appel du vide. Elle se retrouvait, pour la première fois de sa vie, devant rien. Un manque absolu.
