September 7th, 2006 by Victor van Buchem
Sound & Video Contractor profiles the University of California, Davis and its conversion from cassette recordings to podcasting lectures on a campus wide basis in the Podcasting: A Look Inside One School’s Implementation article. UC-Davis has moved to a campus-wide solution by installing Marantz digital recorders.
Currently, an average of 13 classes per quarter use the campus podcast system, with more than 4,000 users accessing digital lectures, and more than 50,000 downloads to date. Student surveys found that, on average, half of the students in each class subscribed to their course podcast during the Winter 2006 quarter. By Spring quarter, usage of the system had increased to 69 percent.
