At Oklahoma State University I have been providing access to video lectures for the past six years. These video resources have been available in a variety of formats using different types of interactivity. I started with Real video using SMIL and then moved to QuickTime with Flash interactivity and also tried streaming QuickTime using Chapters. When video ipods were introduced in the Fall of 2005 I immediately began podcasting class lectures. Now all of my lectures are available as podcasts that can be pushed to students who have subscribed to the lecture videos. I have also been podcasting additional resources for my students including; review of examinations, reviews of problem sets, and informational topics regarding the class web site. I'll discuss student response to the podcasts, and describe the resources needed to podcast your materials.
