How cool is it that Stanford is making many of its lectures available on iTunes? Yay for efforts to open up the knowledge production process! Now i want a podcast of distinguished lecturer series!
Stanford at iTunes
awesome idea for podcasting dls! i can never get over there to see them live…
so… are there any particular lectures/lecturers you’d recommend?
I haven’t traipsed through them yet since i’m spending 8+ hours a week listening to the lectures of my own classes…
Great! McGill has been doing this for a while (as plain mp3s, which is *much* more useful for luddites like me). They haven’t got much attention for it – which is a pity, because it’s a really good (and brave) move on their part.
There are a few schools doing this kind of thing. Ever wonder why they just don’t expose their content as an MP3 or Ogg Vorbis via an RSS feed …? Wouldn’t that be more open than requiring iTunes?
