I saw this [Harvard Offers Course Via iPod] on Digg yesterday, and thought it was very interesting. Harvard is offering the lectures from one of its extension school courses as a Podcast. I think it’s a good use of the technology, and as someone in the academic industry, it’s great to see Podcasting used to enhance learning.
We talk a lot here at Wharton about good ways to use the non-PC space including cell phones, PDAs, anything that goes beyond the traditional PC space. We have the SMS gateway up and running for our Spike portal and we have also put together a proof of concept version of mobileOTIS.
As the non-pc space gets larger and more complex, I think education really has a lot to gain from embracing it. Hopefully Podcasting is only the start.
