Podcasting from the college classroom
A growing number of colleges and universities around the country are distributing classroom lectures and campus speeches to the outside world via the downloadable audio and video programs known as podcasts.
Most college podcasts are probably meant for students and faculty, but schools from Carnegie Mellon to Stanford are finding that podcasts are a good way to spread knowledge, build goodwill and recruit a student or two.
The University of California-Berkeley has just posted classroom lectures on iTunes, the most popular place to get podcasts.
