“Introduction to Quantum Chemistry”, a podcast lecture series from Bryn Mawr College, broke into the iTunes Top 100 in the fall of 2005. The course blended traditional lectures with podcasts, blogs, webcasts and computer based projects, and found an audience of more than a quarter million that extended well beyond the college's walls. Who was the audience, what did they learn and what did the professor discover about teaching in a classroom with virtually no walls?
