Paper Abstract:	The authors of this proposal explain the process of understanding new education technology formats or digital platforms in higher education, specifically podcasts and padlets. The scholars go on to explain the importance of technology driven educational platforms and alternative communication opportunities students enrolled in college level courses can utilize. Platforms such as these are an intricate part of facilitating course content and promoting dialect among peers. It is important to understand how to implement new learning platforms and technologies is the first step in this new virtual learning venture. The opportunity to learn why two or more different ways of content facilitation can create a new digital learning space for both the facilitator and the student(s) during a standard or shortened college semester is vital. Learning to be flexible with course dialect and/or content does not mean to eliminate important assignments, but as a facilitator knowing when the delivery is or is not being absorbed. Hence, recognizing the importance and different ways education technology can improve content delivery and enhanced student communication and interactions. A variation of outcomes and opportunities stem from this experience of podcast and padlet platform application and surely other experiences in the future. The significance of this proposal is shown through the implementation of podcasts and padlets which bring a new visionary way to facilitate course material and if anything, enhance the student learning experience(s) during the process.
