在之前的文章提過柏克萊為首的知名大學逐漸將課程製作coursecast的事情,今天進入雪菲爾大學的圖書館才發現她們也有提供圖書館的iPod導覽說明,英美兩國對於教學科技的應用可以說是同步進行。「科技來自人性」,英美對於iPod的教學應用已為iPod族開啟無邊界教室的大門,我們大概都在大學的課堂上蹺過不少課,算一算成本,也不會有什麼罪惡感。現在價值百萬的課程透過iPod的coursecast免費送上門,蹺這種課可是虧大了。
The University of California, Berkeley is the preeminent public research and teaching institution in the nation . From classic literature to emerging technologies, the curricula of our 130 academic departments span the wide world of thought and knowledge. Supported by the people of California, the university has embraced public service as an essential part of its mission since 1868. The content on this page —drawn from campus seminars, courses and events—is just one part of UC Berkeley's commitment to the broadest possible dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of our state, the nation and the world.
美國大學不但開blog,podcaster,現在連google vedio都上來,全都露!
