College Video Now at Google

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on


UC Berkeley will be the first university with its own page on the Google Video Web site. Google Video is a comprehensive index of free and paid, user-generated and professional video content.

Course lectures and symposia are available free of charge. They will make more than 250 hours of content available to the public.

Today I can look at lectures from Physics 10 (Physics for Future Presidents!) or presentations from the College of Engineering.

Some of this materials has been offered before through other delivery venues. I had downloaded some of the Lunch Poems series from iTunes, and since Berkley is also an iTunesU school, chances are there will be things available there that are also on Google Video.

Should we follow this model - that is, put video in every venue: Google, YouTube, iTunes U and whatever comes next in an effort to get our school out there? Should we duplicate content is several places? (So far, I've seen so exclusivity clauses for any of these services.)

Look for yourself at a href="http://video.google.com/ucberkeley">http://video.google.com/ucberkeley
