At last week’s Distance Teaching & Learning conference I saw Margaret Maag and Ray Schroeder present their new project, Ed-Cast. It’s an academic partnership between the U of San Francisco and the U of Illinois, intended to serve as an international clearinghouse for sharing lectures, conversations, speeches, and related podcasts. On the site you can search for podcasts via title, category, format, length, author, or keyword. All submissions are peer reviewed. You’re invited to submit your podcast for review and possible addition. Ed-Cast also support the new enhanced podcasting format which includes text, images and video and segmentation into chapters.
