Podcasting as an educational tool

Thomas Hawk: If every college lecture in the world were opened up for podcasting imagine the wealth of information at our fingertips. Further if through speech recognition software, or even simple meta tags if we are not there yet, having the capability to catalog and make available university lectures would be amazing. Steve [Sloan] runs a site called Edupodder Weblog.

Hi, JD. Just posted this to Steve Sloan's site, too: I agree that podcasting can play a major role in education. I've already had two professors ask for permission to use content from IT Conversations as course material. See http://www.itconversations.com/wikis/itc/pmwiki.php/Main/InEducation for one example. Another is to teach (technical) English as a second language.

JD, I thought about this some more and thought because it's so un-intrusive, what's to stop students from recording lectures right now and distributing them on P2P networks, rather than wait for the top down approach?

The Napsterization of education!! Deliciously subversive.

I am a graduate student who interested in podcasting as a dissertation project. I would love to hear about any research being done with podcasting.
