Higher ed discovers YouTube
Posted at 11:03 AM on October 4, 2007 by Jon Gordon
A year ago, I delivered a keynote speech to the Association for Educational Communications and Technology at its annual convention in which I urged colleges and universities to post courses, lectures, performances, and original programming on YouTube.
At the time, I was told by the University of California Berkeley, which had already posted assetts to Google Video, that YouTube was not the right "neighborhood." The school didn't want to be on the same channel as the sneezing panda. I argued there's no room for such snobbery - that publicly funded education is for all people, and YouTube is where the people are. Lo and behold, Berkeley has seen the light and is now posting to YouTube. Bravo.
