berkely U podcasts (w/o iTunes, tanks be to heaven)

oh man, this is sweet. I haven’t even looked at the course offerings yet, but Berkley is offering podcasts of all sorts of lectures, and not thru the crap-assed iTunes U program either.

Here’s the link to webcast/courses.berkley.

Some course examples:

  • Foundations of American Cyberculture
  • Operating Systems and System Programming
  • Economic Analysis - Microeconomics
  • Crossroads of Earth Resources and Society
  • US Foreign Policy After 9/11

Thanks to Jon Udell for pointing this out. I am so excited about this. Now: Concordia, McGill, UQAM, UdeM: where are you?? What about my (few) readers who are involved in academia in Canada? Any interest in pushing this idea?

Gee I wish I had a better way to keep track of podcasts I’m listening to …

UPDATE: I sent an email to commend berkley, and got the following response from Obie Greenberg, in charge of the project, which made me smile, for obvious reasons:

Thanks for the good word, Hugh! We’re extremely honored to be written up by Winer, Udell, and you.

Stay tuned.

Obie
