Podcasting takes root at the UW - Brandon Knox, U Washington Daily
Some UW students can now shuffle oceanography, anatomy and political science into their MP3 playlist. Three classes in Kane Hall are now offering downloadable podcasts of classroom lectures, with all the classes being recorded automatically. A podcast is an online subscription service that allows anyone to "get content from sources in a non-interactive way," said Brad Bell, a UW computer support analyst. Podcast subscriptions are made using an online aggregator, such as Apple's iTunes. When new files associated with the podcast become available, they are automatically downloaded to the subscriber's computer, and can be used anytime afterward, whether the subscriber is online or not.
