Lectures in podcasts at Waterloo
There is at least one UW professor that has a podcast of his lectures. Robert Park has made available ANTH 320 in podcast form. I think this is the first podcast of a UW lecture and it’s from an Arts prof! Also, this is still unofficial rumor but at least one Engineering prof will be making podcasts of his lectures available in the Spring 2006 term.
Some things that have yet to be worked out:
- What is the most simple workflow available?
- What tools should be required?
- Is automation required?
Robert’s lectures are posted manually and he makes the mp3’s available outside of the XML. I like that because it means any student with access to a computer can listen to the lectures. Hopefully that becomes part of the standard practice.
Lets see how many more profs try this out…
